Erika Kirk left the White House Correspondents' Dinner in tears. On Saturday, chaos erupted in the Washington Hilton hotel when gunman Cole Allen charged through a security checkpoint in an attempt to storm the ballroom, where Donald Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., Erika Kirk, and other political figures met for the Correspondents' Dinner. The gunman did not end up making it into the room before being subdued by law enforcement, but shot an officer in the process. Luckily, the officer was wearing a bulletproof vest and is going to be OK, according to Trump.
