In a reference-filled attempt to diminish the pop star’s criticism, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson wrote in a statement (per Politico):
“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?”
“Short n’ Sweet” is Carpenter’s Grammy-winning 2024 album and “stupid, or is it slow” is from her song “Manchild.”
“Have you ever tried this one?” the White House wrote on X, trying to tie Carpenter’s playful lyric about sexual positions to alleged migrants being handcuffed.
“This video is evil and disgusting,” Carpenter wrote on X. “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
