A CNN panel was torn in a recent viral tick, in which some chosen Democrats claimed to be video game characters in a “Choose Fighter” parody.
Anchor CNN Abby Phillip asked Rep. Marilyn Strickland, DW.A., Thursday evening why Tiktok video was needed, taking into account “the serious things that happen in this country”.
“Congressman, that trend tiktok, I don’t even know where to start. I’m not sure this is necessary. I mean, there are, like, serious things that happen in this country, but that seems to be just inviting ridicule,” Phillip said.
The video, posted by social media influencer Jessica Woo, presented bulls. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett, Lauren Underwood, Katherine Clark, Judy CHU and Susie Lee.
Congress women in the video could be seen jumping up and down in a combat position as if they were video game characters, along with the text describing their thanks and attributes.
Strickland defended the viral video, claiming that creativity is usually complemented by criticism, and repeating the massive achievement in the video received.
“So when you think of Tiktok as a trend, we are trying to approach different people and different voters. And the woman who produced this is an influential seven million followers. So it’s easy, it’s fun. And whenever you do something creative, you will get criticism, right?”
“But I actually applaud them for trying to do something different. And here’s the reality, seven million followers. Whether you think it’s oppressed or you like it, we’re on CNN an evening on Thursday and we’re talking about it on national TV.”
Phillip continued to bake Strickland with the intention of tiktok, asking, “For what purpose? I don’t get it. How, I don’t get it. I mean, maybe you will get seven million eyes, but what is the goal?”
Republican commentator Scott Jennings then jumped directly after Phillip’s question, providing advice to Democratic leaders.
“I’m not used to helping your party do anything, but let me give you some tips. That was the weakest thing I have ever seen. And if you read the comments today, God have mercy. Look, clash for new social media and communication strategies is not a replacement to fix what is really wrong. Congressmen.
Instead of responding to Jennings’ advice, Strickland withdrew the conversation of President Donald Trump’s performance in office.
“Well, let’s talk about fixing what is wrong. Donald Trump is doing nothing for the American people,” Strickland left Jennings.
After a back and short, Jennings left the Democratic Congress with some final advice on her party.
“He is beating you with 30 points. So my tips, my strong advice to you, fix politics and leave behind, “Jennings said.
