Overview
- Paul, speaking on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend on Sunday, said he has been calling makeup artists to plan a response using darker makeup.
- He pushed back on teaming with a Black creator to blunt criticism, calling that “pussying out” and saying he “doesn’t see in color.”
- Druski’s sketch used whiteface to parody conservative women and drew attention for resembling Erika Kirk, and President Donald Trump suggested Kirk should sue.
- Paul gave no timeline or target for any skit, with outlets noting his remarks after No Jumper shared the podcast clip.
- Scholars note whiteface satirizes power while blackface stems from minstrel shows that dehumanized Black people, which signals why a copycat bit would likely draw harsher backlash.
