President Donald Trump reportedly told Erika Kirk Wednesday to "sue" the critics who have defamed her since her husband's assassination last year. 

Erika Kirk took over her late-husband Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA foundation as CEO and chair after he was fatally shot at a rally in Utah last September, but critics have heavily attacked the widow on social media since the shooting.

Trump made the suggestion during a speech at the White House Easter lunch, when he spotted her at a table.

"Hello, darling! Wow. There’s a good table. I like that table," Trump said, according to the Daily Wire. "You’re doing well, right? I think you should sue ‘em. I told her, ‘You oughta sue some of these’ — They’re so jealous of Erika. I said, ‘You oughta sue their ... ass off.”

The comment comes after Erika Trump admitted in December that she had reached her "breaking point" over conspiracy theories regarding her husband's assassination, and such theories have even led to death threats against her family. 

“Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever," Kirk told Fox News. "When you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my ‘Charlie Kirk Show’ family, when you go after the people that I love and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love, because somehow they’re in on this? No.

"This is righteous anger, because this is not okay. It’s not healthy. This is a mind virus,” she added.
