It’s come to this.
President Joe Biden has enlisted the help of the Jonas Brothers to help sell the COVID-19 vaccine:

Oh, but it’s worse than that. The White House video borrowed the “Joe Byron” TikTok trend that went viral earlier this year. From The Hill:
The video from the Jonas Brothers is their take on a TikTok trend that went viral earlier this year, using audio from a Sidetalk NYC video in which a New York man referred to the 46th president as “Joe Byron.”

Honest question here: Is the White House even aware of the demos of the unvaccinated they’re trying to reach? Because this ain’t it:
The White House celebrity ‘get vaxxed’ videos seem designed to impress their fully vaxxed group texts and not the easily identifiable demographics they need to actually move.

Even libs aren’t happy with it:

And David Hogg was particularly angry over it, noting that his friends have to start paying back their student loans and that the admin. has done nothing on gun violence:
You can have all the celebs you want at the White House- it’s not going to change the fact almost all of my friends just got emails about needing to restart their federal student loan payments and kids are dying everyday from gun violence.
Want our vote?
