"Last week, the White House decided to release a Juno-backed musical montage of ICE arresting people on Twitter. Having none of it, Sabrina Carpenter took to the site to call the video evil, disgusting, and suggested that the ICE arrests were part of an "inhumane agenda." 3 for 3 honestly. But the biggest numbers involved the ratio - Sabrina's fuck-off message got orders of magnitude more support than the White House's attempt at socially relevant propaganda."
"They can try the ignore the loss and throw another punch strategy, but the internet never forgets: Little cringe to see the White House play scorned fangirl with a pop star who didn't want to be associated with bottom of the barrel ICE agents, but fully in the realm of expectation for this administration. Cease-and-desist crisis averted, I guess. That said, this does set SNL up to do something very funny."
The White House posted a Juno-backed musical montage on Twitter showing ICE arrests. Sabrina Carpenter publicly condemned the video as evil, disgusting, and part of an "inhumane agenda," and her statement attracted far greater public support than the administration's post. The White House removed the video and distanced itself from Juno while social media users mocked the effort and amplified backlash. Observers noted the episode as damaging to the administration's social media strategy and suggested it created opportunities for satirical responses, including potential reactions from SNL, without triggering a formal cease-and-desist.
