Democrats' 'Choose Your Fighter' TikTok Video Draws Widespread Criticism

A video featuring House Democrats mimicking video game characters was mocked online, with the White House releasing a parody response.

House Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Katherine Clark, participated in a TikTok video mimicking a video game character selection screen for Women’s History Month.
The video, created by influencer Sulhee Jessica Woo, listed playful traits for each congresswoman but was widely criticized as outdated and 'cringe.'
The Trump White House responded with a parody video showcasing administration members and emphasizing their credentials, captioned, 'America chose its fighters last November.'
Critics across the political spectrum questioned the purpose of the Democrats' video, with some calling it performative and ineffective in addressing substantive issues.
The video and its reception highlight ongoing tensions over political communication strategies and the effectiveness of social media outreach.
