White House TikTok Video Goes Silent After Zara Larsson's Criticism
White House TikTok Video Reception
A White House TikTok video, originally celebrating ICE-led deportations, went silent on Friday after singer Zara Larsson criticized the administration for using her song, “Midnight Sun,” in the post. Larsson took to TikTok to express her outrage, labeling the White House as “losers” for appropriating a joyful melody to accompany a celebration of mass deportations. By Friday morning, the video displayed the message: “This sound is unavailable.”
Media Silence and Response
It remains unclear if TikTok muted the video or if the White House opted to silence it. Larsson remarked, “If you want to talk about politics and immigration, fine. But this video is so dehumanizing.” She noted that many depicted in the video appeared to be wearing protective work clothing common on construction sites. “These people are real,” she stated, emphasizing that undocumented individuals often hold jobs and seek better futures.
Zara Larsson's Perspective
Larsson shared her thoughts about her privileged upbringing in Sweden, expressing her awareness of the disparity of opportunities available to individuals globally. She concluded, “It’s purely luck, and we must seek to make life better for those who are not as fortunate.”
