White House Shares New Sabrina Carpenter Video Supporting ICE
The White House has recently faced backlash over a video featuring pop star Sabrina Carpenter. The clip, posted on their official social media channels, used Carpenter’s song “Juno” as a backdrop to illustrate ICE arrests. The controversial video sparked significant outrage from Carpenter herself.
Details of the Incident
Last Monday, the White House shared a video that included Carpenter’s lyrics, “Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?” The video was captioned: “Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,” juxtaposing the upbeat song with serious content related to immigration enforcement.
Carpenter’s Response
In response, Carpenter condemned the video on her official social media account, labeling it as “evil and disgusting.” She firmly requested that her music not be used to promote what she described as an “inhumane agenda.”
White House Remarks
Amid the controversy, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson defended the administration’s actions. In her response, she referenced Carpenter’s own album title and lyrics, stating, “Here’s a Short N’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.” She further criticized anyone who would support the criminals being deported.
Continued Use of Carpenter’s Content
The situation might not end here. Carpenter has a customary stage act where she humorously “arrests” an audience member deemed “too hot” before singing her song “Juno.” This act has inspired further commentary.
New White House Promotion
Over the weekend, the White House released another video featuring Carpenter. In this clip, an AI voice changed Carpenter’s words from “hot” to “illegal,” which was accompanied by edits of ICE arrests. This move drew more criticism regarding the inappropriate use of Carpenter’s image and music without her consent.
Public Sentiment
The backlash from this incident reflects broader public anger regarding the portrayal of immigration enforcement and the rights of artists. The use of pop culture in such a manner continues to spark debates about ethics and consent in political messaging.
With the video now deleted, many are awaiting further statements from Carpenter regarding the White House’s actions. The incident highlights the growing intersection of politics and pop culture, leaving a lasting impact on both the artist and the administration’s strategies moving forward.
