How Netizens Reacted: 'Delete this... Will be History...'

There were scores of strong reactions to the White House video, with many criticising the“cruel” tone of the post and casual use of“ASMR” when talking about deportation.

Some users wrote straightforward rebukes like:“Delete this”,“This feels really facist”,“shame on you.”,“Please don't do this” and“Are you 5?” (sic)

One warned:“This will be shown in history class (not for a good reason btw)” and another questioned:“Why is treating human beings this way entertainment for you?” (sic)

Yet another X user posted a reminder of the poem cast into the Statue of Liberty's pedestal, writing:“I don't have the words for how far we've strayed as a country” (sic)

Others went the meme route, expressing disbelief that an official account could have made the post, saying:“Surprised this isn't a parody account” and“Things we never believed we'd see for $1000, Alex.” (sic)

Multiple replies also made references to the April 2000 horror-comedy movie“American Psycho” with various gifs of lead actor Christian Bale.
