A viral moment from a recent public event has social media buzzing after Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, shared a warm on-stage bear hug with US Vice President JD Vance at the Turning Point USA event in Mississippi. The embrace quickly went viral, sparking some sharp reactions online.

Erika was spotted wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with the word 'Freedom', paired with sleek black leather pants, while Vance opted for a classic blue suit. The on-stage hug between the two quickly drew attention online, with many on X, formerly Twitter, remarking that the moment appeared 'intimate', especially as Erika was seen placing her hands gently on Vance’s head during the embrace.

In one of the viral clips from the event, Erika was heard saying, "No one will ever replace Charlie... but I do see some similarities between my husband and JD - Vice President JD Vance."

The viral clip has since reignited conversations about how notable figures should behave in public events.

Apparently, this is true.
