  • Social media comedian Druski, real name Drew Desbordes, has sparked online backlash with his latest video titled How Conservative Women in America act.
  • In the video, Druski uses prosthetics and make-up to portray a white woman, engaging in activities such as a mock press conference about Iran, a pilates class, and ordering a drink at a drive-through.
  • The clip concludes with the character stating, 'We have to protect all men in America, especially all white men in America', while a Black security guard looks on suspiciously.

  • Conversely, numerous fans defended Druski's skit, praising his make-up and costume design team and anticipating the negative reactions.
