White House calls female pop music megastar 'stupid' after using her song in ICE arrest video

Pop music superstar Sabrina Carpenter is dealing with a different type of “Manchild” than she’s used to as The White House publicly insulted her Tuesday. While the barb didn’t come from President Donald Trump himself -- who has called female reporters “piggy” and “ugly” in recent weeks -- White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson labeled Carpenter “stupid” in a statement.

The ordeal began Tuesday morning when Carpenter responded to a video published on social media Monday by The White House. The video shows members of Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) arresting people while Carpenter’s song “Juno” plays.

The song is notorious at Carpenter’s concerts as she typically demonstrates a sexual pose during each show which is preceded by the phrase “have you ever tried this one?” The ICE video plays that phrase as people are being arrested by agents and end up in different positions.

Carpenter disavowed the video on social media, saying "this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda." About 90 minutes later, TMZ reported Jackson responded on behalf of The White House.

seemed to me to be making fun of the people ICE was chasing.

Every one of the WH Communications staff has a truly warped and sadistic notion of comedy. There was a time that they would've been summarily fired for ridiculing fellow citizens. Respect begets respect.
