Sabrina Carpenter condemns ‘evil’ White House for using her song in ICE video
Global News
The video pairs Carpenter's song — featuring the line 'Have you ever tried this one?' — with the White House footage showing individuals being handcuffed, tackled and more.
Sabrina Carpenter condemned the White House for using her song Juno in a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) video depicting ICE raids.
The video, shared to The White House’s official X account, shows ICE officers detaining people while quoting lyrics from Carpenter’s song in the caption.
“Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,” the White House X account wrote in the post attached to the video featuring Carpenter’s song, followed by a pair of waving and heart eyes emojis.
“This video is evil and disgusting,” Carpenter, 26, wrote in response. “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
The White House video uses lyrics from Juno in which the singer references sex positions, asking: “Have you ever tried this one?” while showing people being handcuffed, tackled and more by ICE agents.
The White House defended its immigration policy after Carpenter criticized it.
“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. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement, using another Carpenter reference from her song Manchild.
