'Unbelievably barbaric': Internet cringes at White House's anti-immigrant post

The White House posted an anti-immigrant video that's making people cringe or dismiss it as a distraction from Trump's real issues.

The official X account for the White House posted a video, which seems AI-generated, that shows a UFO lifting someone over a border wall and came with a link for ALIENS.GOV, which further attacked immigrants.

Commentators like podcaster Spencer Hakimian scoffed at it as an "Epstein Distraction." Legal expert Joyce Vance agreed, saying that a post "is a great way of distracting people from the fact that we still don't know what's in the Epstein Files."

Others were more taken aback. Influencer Jimmy Wong described it as "unbelievably barbaric."

Former Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont wrote, "Still looking for intelligent life in the White House."

In a Spanish-language post, journalist Leon Krauze wrote that the White House "sometimes becomes indescribable" and the post as more "intimidation against immigrants. As if the lives of millions of human beings were a (very bad) joke."
