House Democrats Face Backlash Over Viral 'Choose Your Fighter' TikTok Video
A TikTok video featuring Democratic representatives in a video game-inspired skit drew widespread criticism online, including from the White House and commentators across the political spectrum.
- The TikTok video, posted by influencer Sulhee Jessica Woo, featured Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett, Lauren Underwood, Katherine Clark, Judy Chu, and Susie Lee mimicking video game characters with playful attributes listed.
- The video was created to mark Women’s History Month but was widely criticized as outdated and 'cringe,' with commentators questioning its relevance and effectiveness in connecting with voters.
- The Trump White House responded with its own version of the trend, featuring President Trump and key administration figures, captioned 'America chose its fighters last November.'
- Critics from across the political spectrum, including media personalities and social media users, mocked the video as performative and out of touch, with some suggesting it highlighted deeper issues within the Democratic Party's messaging strategy.
- The backlash follows other recent controversies involving Democratic lawmakers, including their protest during President Trump’s congressional address earlier in the week.
