Bad Bunny must be enraged, and rightfully so. In a jaw-dropping display of tone-deafness, the White House has released a TikTok video glorifying mass deportations, using one of the Puerto Rican superstar’s tracks as its soundtrack. You can almost hear the cringes echoing through the Latino community. This isn’t just a misstep; it’s a full-blown attempt to co-opt cultural symbols while simultaneously undermining the very people these symbols represent.

Let’s call it what it is: shameless propaganda. CNN and MSNBC would rather tiptoe around the issue, framing it as a “bold immigration strategy” when it’s really a slap in the face to those they claim to support. Meanwhile, Fox News will spin it as another Biden blunder, ignoring how this administration is exploiting cultural icons to cloak its draconian policies while damaging the very narratives they perpetuate about inclusivity.

By leveraging Bad Bunny’s music—an anthem of freedom and rebellion—the White House showcases a profound disconnect from the grassroots struggles of marginalized communities. It’s a classic case of the establishment exploiting art to sanitize their actions, all while pretending to care about the emotional undertones of the very culture they’re trampling on. Will any of the mainstream media truly hold them accountable, or will they continue to play puppet to political agendas?
