This whole situation stems from Kirk's recent live interview at the DealBook Summit in New York. During the talk, Kirk was asked about her thoughts on NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and she said she worried about working women delaying motherhood and marriage in lieu of viewing government support as a sort of replacement. "I think there's a tendency, especially when you live in a city like Manhattan, where, again, you are so career-driven, and you almost look to the government as a form of replacement for certain things, relationship-wise, even," she said. "What I don't want to have happen is women, young women, in the city look to the government as a solution. To put off having a family or a marriage, because you're relying on the government to support you, instead of being united with the husband, where you can support yourself and your husband can support [you]."
