White House Slams Bruce Springsteen's Protest Song as 'Random' and 'Irrelevant'
The White House has shot down a scathing protest song by Bruce Springsteen against ICE, dismissing the musician's views as "random" and "irrelevant". The Trump administration's spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, claimed that the agency is not focused on "random songs with irrelevant opinions and inaccurate information".
However, Springsteen's lyrics in his new song, "Streets of Minneapolis", paint a stark picture of the horrors inflicted by ICE on undocumented immigrants. The song is dedicated to the victims of ICE brutality and calls out Trump henchmen for spreading lies.
Jackson's response only added fuel to the fire, attempting to pivot away from Springsteen's words. She claimed that the administration is working with Democrats to remove "dangerous criminal illegal aliens" from communities - a message that falls flat when considering the agency's history of human rights abuses.
The backlash against ICE continues to grow, with protests and demonstrations popping up across the country. The White House's dismissive response only serves to highlight the disconnect between the administration's rhetoric and its actual actions.
It appears that some opinions are indeed more "random" and "irrelevant" than others - especially when it comes to defending human rights and standing up against injustice. As Springsteen's song has already garnered millions of views on YouTube, it seems that his message is resonating with the public. The White House would do well to take notice.
