“Don’t be Newscum. Young men, you have amazing role models like our handsome, dashing president, and you have amazing role models like the assassin JD Vance, our vice president. And when I say that–” she said, realizing she was sitting with Erika Kirk, whose husband was just assassinated, per Variety.
“Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard. So you’re fine. … You have to laugh about it, truly. I have been called every single thing, and you know what? God is so good. You let it roll right off your back and this is what’s so beautiful about this moment, because if the internet wants to clip it, who cares? I love Nicki. She’s an amazing woman. She has a soul and a heart for the Lord. And words are words, but I know her heart and it doesn’t even matter. And you say what you want to say, because I know your heart and I will not judge that, sister,” Erika said in response.
Nicki previously teamed up with the MAGA community by appearing at the United Nations to decry Christian persecution in Nigeria, thanking President Donald Trump for the opportunity.
