Erica Kirk’s comments on ‘overweight slobs’ spark controversy at TPUSA event

Erica Kirk And fellow conservatives share wild advice at Turning Point USA (TPUSA) Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio, Texas on June 12. The advice included provocative comments about babies and warnings against marrying an “overweight slut”.

Erica Kirk advised women at her TPUSA event to “have more children than they can afford”.

According to reports, around 3,000 people were in attendance at the event, at which Erica reiterated her late husband’s advice to “have more kids than you can handle”. The Daily Beast.

According to the outlet, tickets cost between $50 and $300 for the weekend summit, which featured speakers including swimmer Riley Gaines, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Trump’s former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Most of the speeches focused more on faith-based, mega-aligned messaging than politics.

Turning Point USA podcaster Alex Clark, 33, who promotes early marriage for young women and is single herself, said on the program, “When you imagine your future husband, are you imagining an overweight slut who never sees the light of day and spends 14 hours a day online and has no community in the real world? Probably not.”

He told the audience, “Now ask yourself, ‘Would you like to marry you?’ I know no one will like this question, but it’s a good question. So stop asking ‘Where is she’ and start asking ‘Who am I becoming?'” Clark also used the platform to announce her engagement to Vance Voigtenberg.

Tradewife influencer Savannah Faith Stone, 21, also called her dedication to her husband “radical.” Stone explained, “To be a leader in this society is to go against the culture. It’s willing to be called a radical extremist because you believe your husband is the head of the household. It’s willing to be called a pick-me because you really like your husband. It’s willing to be called a misogynist because you identify with feminism as its psychology.”

TPUSA, now under Erica’s leadership following the death of her husband Charlie Kirk, held its annual Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio in September 2025 at Utah Valley University. This week, more than 2,000 young Orthodox women attended speeches and discussions by online influencers.
