January 1, White House Stands Firm Against Pop Star Critic

Wyatt’s Take

• The White House rejected calls to apologize after using pop singer Sabrina Carpenter’s song in an ICE video.
• Officials defended their actions, focusing on deporting dangerous criminals.
• Carpenter and her fans criticized the use as supporting an “inhumane agenda.”

The White House refused to back down after using Sabrina Carpenter’s music in a video posted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“evil”

Carpenter demanded she not be involved with the administration’s messaging.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson responded strongly, stating,

“we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.”

“Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”

The controversy started when the White House shared a video featuring Carpenter’s song as part of a post highlighting tough action on deporting criminals.

“Juno”

The post included a lyric from the song and the phrase,

“Bye-bye.”

Carpenter replied online,

“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

Reports say Carpenter has supported left-wing activist causes.

She also drew criticism for some stage performances on her recent tour, with parents concerned over the impact on young audiences.

Debate continues over the White House’s use of popular culture to push immigration enforcement.
