Bad Bunny's Grammy speech irks White House press secretary
After Bad Bunny's historic Grammy win, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called his anti-ICE comments "ironic" and "sad."
She pointed out, "It's very ironic and, frankly, sad to see celebrities who live in gated communities with private security, with millions of dollars to spend protecting themselves, trying to just demonize law enforcement public servants who work for the US government to enforce our nation's laws," Leavitt said.
The rapper had used his speech to say "ICE out" and remind everyone, "We are humans, and we are Americans."
