‘Morning Joe’ Cuts Off White House Statement: ‘Not Going to Read the Lies’

MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” refused to give airtime to a White House statement defending the use of a pop star’s music in controversial immigration videos.

On Tuesday, pop singer Sabrina Carpenter publicly condemned the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for using her song Juno in videos depicting immigrants being detained and deported. Carpenter called the misuse “evil and disgusting” and warned, “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

In response, Abigail Jackson issued a statement defending the agency’s actions: “Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”
