The Trump White House doesn’t back down from a fight. Even when it’s with the biggest stars out there.
And the White House released a statement that has this celebrity red with rage.
In a move that’s got the left seething, the White House fired back at pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter after she threw a tantrum over their use of her song in a hard-hitting ICE promotional video. The administration isn’t backing down from protecting American citizens, and they’re using the singer’s own words to drive the point home.
The drama kicked off when the White House dropped a montage showcasing ICE agents in action, nabbing people who’ve crossed U.S. borders illegally. Set to Carpenter’s catchy tune Juno, the video pulls no punches in highlighting the real threats facing American communities.
Not one to stay silent, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson delivered a zinger of a response that flipped the script on Carpenter. Drawing straight from the pop star’s album title, Jackson laid it out clear as day.
“Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal m*rderers, r*pists, and p*dophiles from our country,” Jackson stated to the New York Post.
She didn’t stop there, cleverly twisting lyrics from Carpenter’s track Manchild to call out anyone soft on crime. “Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?” Jackson quipped, turning the singer’s own music against her virtue-signaling outburst.
Carpenter, the 26-year-old Grammy nominee, didn’t take kindly to her song being featured in the clip. She lashed out on X, labeling the entire thing as downright vile.
“evil and disgusting,” Carpenter blasted in her post, making her disdain crystal clear for the world to see.
She doubled down, demanding the administration keep their hands off her work. “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” the artist declared, positioning herself as some kind of moral guardian against law enforcement.
The White House video itself was a masterclass in wit, captioned with a playful nod to Juno’s lyrics: “Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye.” It was a direct hit, waving farewell to the criminals being rounded up.
Viewers got a front-row seat to the action, with slow-motion footage of ICE officers handcuffing suspects, chasing down fugitives, and securing them on the ground. It’s the kind of no-nonsense enforcement that real Americans applaud.
Of course, Carpenter’s fanbase jumped in to defend their idol, flooding social media with calls for her to sue the pants off the Trump team. They see her as a hero for standing up to what they call oppression.
One supporter gushed online: “Proud to support an artist who uses her platform to support vulnerable, marginalized and demonized groups of people with her voice and charitable efforts.”
Another chimed in with casual praise: “You gained h*lla brownie points for this ngl,” as if siding with criminals earns you cool points.
This isn’t the first time a pop diva has cried foul over the administration’s use of music to promote safety. Just last month, Olivia Rodrigo went on a similar rant against a Department of Homeland Security video that urged illegal immigrants to self-deport.
Rodrigo didn’t hold back in her now-deleted response: “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” she fumed, echoing the same tired playbook of labeling border control as bigotry.
It’s clear these celebrities live in a bubble, far removed from the everyday struggles of Americans dealing with the fallout from open borders. While they’re sipping lattes in their mansions, families across the nation are paying the price for unchecked illegal immigration.
The Trump administration, however, stays focused on the mission: keeping U.S. streets safe by deporting the worst of the worst. No amount of celebrity whining will change that commitment to law and order.
In the end, this spat only highlights how out of touch the entertainment elite really is. They’re quick to defend “vulnerable” groups, but silent on the victims of crimes committed by those same illegal entrants.
