First Lady Jill Biden faced backlash on Wednesday night after sharing a video on social media platform X, showcasing dancers tapping around the holiday-decorated White House. The theme for this year’s decorations is “Magic, Wonder, and Joy.” However, the video failed to resonate with viewers, who criticized it for being “weird” and “twisted.”
The video, posted from the official @FLOTUS account, featured the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite. Despite the intention to bring magic and joy, social media observers expressed disappointment with the content. One viewer even compared it to a “United States of Bananas” spectacle, while another questioned its ability to evoke the Christmas spirit.
Critics labeled the video as “strange,” “bizarre,” and “freaky.” A comparison was drawn to a similar video released during Melania Trump’s tenure, which was praised for its tastefulness and seasonal appeal. In contrast, Jill Biden’s video was described as “utterly tacky, tasteless, and ANTI Christmas.”
Some viewers went as far as to suggest that the White House had switched from “cocaine to acid,” referencing a previous incident where cocaine was discovered at the executive mansion earlier this year. They argued that the video’s vibrant costumes and energetic dancers did not align with the traditional Christmas theme.
Criticism also centered around the cost of producing the video, with viewers questioning its value and impact on taxpayers. Some viewers considered it “absolute garbage” while others found it embarrassing and inappropriate for children.
The White House has not yet commented on the video. As opinions continue to circulate, it remains to be seen how this backlash will impact the perception of the Biden administration’s holiday celebrations.
In other news, a recent poll shows President Biden’s approval ratings hitting record lows, and he is falling behind former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical 2024 matchup. Additionally, there is growing support among Democrats for an impeachment inquiry against Biden. Meanwhile, Republicans, including Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, continue to gain favor. This political climate adds context to the criticism faced by First Lady Jill Biden.
