Erika Kirk has faced criticism for her response to allegations that Egyptian aircraft have been tracking her movements over an extended period.
Candace Owens claims that Egyptian planes have overlapped with Kirk’s flights 70 times in the past two years—a statistically improbable coincidence.
During a recent CBS Town Hall appearance, Kirk stated she was pregnant for “90% of those trips” and too busy with “craving In-N-Out and chocolate milkshakes” to be on any Egyptian plane. This response has been criticized as deflecting from the core allegation: that foreign aircraft have been monitoring her location.
Critics emphasize that no one accused Kirk of flying on the planes, but rather that Egyptian aircraft were tracking her movements—a matter of serious concern following the murder of her husband, Charlie Kirk.
The Town Hall event was conducted with Bari Weiss as the interviewer and questions preselected by CBS, according to multiple accounts. Observers argue this setup reflects a controlled narrative designed to avoid addressing legitimate security concerns.
Kirk’s team has focused on “the truth” and Charlie Kirk’s legacy, but critics say this approach ignores urgent questions about potential threats to national security.
