Why is Nicki Minaj's Turning Point USA appearance igniting controversy?

Don Lemon 0:13
Let's talk about Nicki Minaj. Why not? Everybody else is like, what is she doing? Now, Nicki Minaj has trafficked in some conspiracy theories. You guys, I don't know if you remember around COVID. primarily like social media posts and public statements. There was one that was really notable about the claims that she shared during COVID about her cousin's COVID-19 vaccination, alleged swollen testicles. That was in 2021. Just all kinds of things. So is Nicki Minaj being Nicki Minaj? Except this time, Nicki Minaj sees people scratching their head because this was at a Turning Point USA conference. I think it's called AmFest. And she showed up, not only showed up, but with Charlie Kirk's widow, hand in hand, watch it.
Don Lemon 1:17
By the way, what stage of grief is that for you? Erica Kirk, like this is just this bizarre and a whole number of levels. Erica Kirk has been on like this media tour and grieving and in public. And we'll get to that.

What past conspiracy claims did Nicki Minaj make around COVID and how do they matter now?

Don Lemon 1:39
Some people say grifting, honestly, and we'll get to that. There's something that has to do with that. But there's a headline. Nicki Minaj surprises conservatives with praise for Trump Vance at the Arizona event now.
Don Lemon 1:56
I don't do we need to go into what Charlie Kirk said about black women and Nicki Minaj is a black woman. She's a woman of color about not having brain processing power. So maybe Nicki Minaj, according to Charlie Kirk, does not have the brain processing power to figure out what she's doing right now. Look, you can be a conservative. You can be whatever you want. But, you know, I believe a grift is a grift is a grift. and uh i don't know what there are folks online who are saying maybe this has to do that she or she's in financial straits i don't know that that's what the streets are saying that's what the internet is saying i don't know that to be true but that's what they're saying there's also saying there's someone in her family possibly that she wants pardoned or exonerated or something changed i just remember um you know
Don Lemon 2:46
her we'll talk about her husband and all of that because uh gavin newsom i think took care of all of that for all of us so nikki minaj is at this turning points usa event and she has this praise for donald trump and for jd vance in the process of praising both of them she made a huge huge huge blunder now i want you to remember you guys know charlie kirk was assassinated right or
Unknown 3:14

And you have amazing role models like the assassin J.D. Vance, our vice president.
Erica (Erika) Kirk 3:58
And when I say that... Trust me, there's nothing new under the sun that I have not heard, so you're fine. Yes we did.
Don Lemon 4:16
I love you.
Erica (Erika) Kirk 4:23
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 this woman. 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. I do not judge that.
Unknown 4:54
Thank you, my sister. Thank you. For boys, boys, be boys. Amen. Be boys. It's okay. Be boys. There's nothing wrong with being a boy. How about that? Amen. How powerful is that? How profound is that? Amen. Boys will be boys, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Don Lemon 5:24
No, what does that mean? Of course it's okay to be a boy.

Who did Nicki Minaj appear with at AmFest and why is that significant?

Don Lemon 5:28
It's okay to be a girl. It's okay to be anyone. It's okay to be trans. It's okay to be gay. It's okay to be straight. It's okay to be a grifting rapper. It's okay to be a grifting political person. If that's what you choose to be. I don't think that it's okay to, I shouldn't say it's okay to be a grifter. But you do you. And what does she mean it's okay to be a boy? Of course it is.
