Erika Kirk Faces Backlash After Event Advises Women Not to Marry ‘Overweight Slobs’

Erika Kirk and fellow conservatives shared wild advice at the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) Women Leadership Summit in San Antonio, Texas, on June 12. The advice included provocative comments about babies and warnings against marrying an “overweight slob.”

The event, which drew around 3,000 attendees, had Erika repeating her late husband’s advice to “have more kids than you can afford,” reports The Daily Beast.

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

Alex Clark, a 33-year-old Turning Point USA podcaster who promotes early marriage for young women and is herself unmarried, said at the event, “When you picture your future husband, are you picturing an overweight slob who never sees daylight and spends 14 hours a day online and has no real-world community whatsoever? Probably not.”

She told the audience, “Now ask yourself, ‘Would you want to marry you?’ I know nobody likes that question, but it’s a good question. So stop asking ‘where is he’ and start asking ‘who am I becoming?’” Clark also used the stage to announce her engagement to Vance Voetberg.

Savanna Faith Stone, a 21-year-old tradwife influencer, also called submission to one’s husband “radical.” Stone explained, “To be a leader in this society is to go against the culture. It’s being willing to be called a radical extremist because you believe your husband is the head of the household. It’s being willing to be called a pick-me because you actually like your husband. It’s being willing to be called a misogynist because you recognize feminism for the psyop it is.”

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