Turning Point USA co-founder Erika Kirk reportedly had a major influence over Second Lady of the United States Usha Vance, a move that upset conservatives.
During the Fox News broadcast on July 20, the Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt, 49, announced the birth of baby boy Alec Neel Vance. On July 19, Vice President JD Vance, 41, and Usha Vance, 40, welcomed their fourth child. The couple shares two other sons, Ewan and Vivek, and their one daughter, Mirabel.
Earhardt claimed Kirk, 37, influenced the second lady to have her fourth child and possibly more. This came after the vice president made comments on former President Joe Biden's ice cream-eating skills.

Earhardt said, "Erika Kirk really influenced Usha. She said that Erika had said she wished she had had more children with Charlie Kirk, which helped lead their decision to expand their family and become a family of six.
"She and Erika Kirka are very, very close. And Charlie and Erika were always talking about expanding families. They were pro-family. And I feel that this White House has been just championing family values."
However, viewers took to social media to slam Kirk's relationship with Vance. They believed Erika should not meddle in personal affairs that have nothing to do with her.
One viewer said, "That is so cringe. On many levels. Red flag alert." Another person added, "Pretty pathetic that a cult lady - the wife of a murdered bigot - is the one influencing family planning for the VP."
A third wrote, "None of your damn business, actually. Why are you getting involved, Erika? It's not your kid!"
Despite the criticism, Kirk still had a supporter who shared, "Mazel tov on the birth of your little man. May blessings rain down on your growing family."
The vice president and the second lady shared the news in a joint social media post the previous day. The couple stated that their son was born earlier that morning and that both Usha and the baby were doing well.
"We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning," the duo wrote. "Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother."
The pair also thanked the doctors who cared for their family during the pregnancy and delivery.
"The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing," the couple added.
"We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family."
JD and Usha first announced their pregnancy back on January 20.
