The White House Correspondents' Dinner (WCHD) shooting has sparked a viral video of Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA, fleeing the scene, crying and saying 'I just want to go home.'
However, many are questioning why Erika Kirk was present at the event, which is typically attended by journalists and White House officials.
While Erika Kirk's late husband Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in September 2025, there is no clear connection between her presence at the WCHD and the shooting.
It is believed that Erika Kirk was invited by either President Trump or Vice President JD Vance, given her close ties to the Trump administration.
The WCHD is attended by special guests, celebrities, and media professionals, and Erika Kirk's presence has raised eyebrows among social media users.
