CNN host Abby Phillip criticized House Democrats for a TikTok video that attempted to participate in a viral trend but ended up being widely mocked. The video featured several representatives showcasing their accomplishments in a video game-style character selection format. While some Democrats defended it as a creative outreach method, Phillip questioned its relevance given serious national issues. Conservative panelist Scott Jennings also condemned the video, arguing that such social media strategies do not address the party's low approval ratings and actual issues facing the country.
I don't even know where to begin. I'm not sure why this is necessary. I mean, there is, like, serious stuff happening in this country, but that seems to be just inviting ridicule.
I guess my question is to what end? I don't get it. Like, I don't get it. I mean, maybe you will get 7 million eyeballs. But like what is the point?
Scrambling for new social media and communication strategies is not a replacement for fixing what's actually wrong. Your party has a 21 percent approval rating right now, Congressional Democrats.
Rep. Marilyn Strickland defended the video as lighthearted and a creative way to reach different voters, despite the criticisms and ridicule it received.
