US EditionWhite House Launches Spoof MySpace Page Mocking Democratic Leaders over Shutdown
The White House blames Senate Democrats for the shutdown with a parody site ridiculing their opposition to GOP funding bills during the ongoing government closure.
- On Saturday the White House launched MySafeSpace on whitehouse.gov, mocking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, with screenshots posted Sunday.
- Senate Democrats have resisted a temporary funding bill until Congress extends Affordable Care Act subsidies, while both parties failed to reach 60 votes in the Senate and Republicans push a stopgap until Nov 21.
- The spoof uses MySpace-style features including Top 8 Friends with Joe Biden, a voting record linking to Senate Democrats blocking funding, Hakeem Shutdown Blog redirects, edited videos/photos, and sombrero imagery.
- The White House defended the page by pointing to a Sunday X post promoting MySafeSpace, while representatives for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries did not immediately respond, and Republican leaders called the images humorous.
- Jeffries warned on Nov 2 that Republicans' stance could lead to premium hikes of $1,000 to $2,000 per month for over 42 million Americans, impacting future elections.
