CBS Erika Kirk Town Hall Flops in the Ratings
"The heavily-promoted Saturday town hall drew 1.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. That represents an 11% decline for the year-to-date average for that hour of 8 pm EST. It also marked a 41% decline in the key demo of 25-54, bringing in 265,000. Kirk drew a much bigger crowd when guest-hosting on Fox News' The Five on Tuesday. That episode drew 3.3 million viewers. On YouTube, the CBS town hall has drawn 107,000 views, as of Tuesday evening."
"Kirk took part in the town hall just months after the assassination of her husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. During the town hall, Erika Kirk called on pundits like Candace Owens to stop spreading conspiracy theories about her husband's killing. The two have since personally met for what both described as a productive conversation. Stop. That's it. That's all I have to say. Stop, Kirk said when asked for a message to conspiracy theorists speaking about her husband's death."
