An image of President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller in handcuffs was posted by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on social media.
The AI-generated video shows the three sitting on a step with their hands behind their backs as “It’s cuffing season” flashes onscreen, per The Hill.
The video then shows the backseat of a car where Trump, Hegseth and Miller raise their cuffed hands to their faces and they start to cry.
The video ends with the three approaching the doors of a courthouse, where police, reporters and spectators are waiting and start taking pictures.
R&B singer SZA’s song “Big Boys” plays in the background.
Watch:
The video was in response to another video posted by the White House, which also featured SZA’s song. The video shows a sequence of images of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests.
“WE HEARD IT’S CUFFING SZN,” the post read. “Bad news for criminal illegal aliens. Great news for America.”
Watch:
SZA was not pleased here song was used for the White House video.
She posted on X that the White House is “rage baiting artists for free promo is PEAK DARK ..inhumanity +shock and aw tactics ..Evil n Boring.”
SZA was not the only artist to complain about the White House using a song.
Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter called the use of one of her songs for an ICE video “evil and disgusting.”
Newsom has used AI before.
Last week, he posted an AI-generated image of himself receiving the “inaugural Kohl’s Peace Prize” in response to Trump receiving the first FIFA Peace Prize.
In October, Newsom’s campaign office posted an AI-generated image of Marie Antoinette with Trump’s face.
“TRUMP ‘MARIE ANTOINETTE’ SAYS, ‘NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!’” the post read.
