The White House’s social media strategy of late has been pretty simple: Use a pop star’s song in a video depicting mass deportations, spark outrage from said pop star, gain hundreds of thousands of views from said outrage, and then remove the audio before facing legal consequences. At least, this is the strategy that Sabrina Carpenter got wrapped up into recently. Last Monday, the White House’s official social accounts shared a video set to Carpenter’s “Juno,” where she sings: “Wanna try out some freaky positions?/ Have you ever tried this one?” The White House’s clip showed numerous ICE arrests, captioned: “Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye.”
