The Biden administration just can’t seem to get the hang of social media.
Or talking to people.
Or being anything less than super-cringey in their PSAs.
Their latest (total failure of an) attempt at trying to reach the 35 and younger crowd with a pro-vax message comes courtesy of the Jonas Brothers, a pop group comprised of a trio of brothers, who helped President Joe Biden film a 30-second TikTok video encouraging people to get The Jab.
And from the terrible lip-sync to the unintelligible message and the forced cameo by the septuagenarian president, it’s…bad.

The video is a take on a viral TikTok trend featuring a (now formerly) homeless man from Coney Island named TJ, who scored recent fame after appearing in several social media clips in which he yells about President "Byron" before busting out a breakdance....of sorts.
A trend which, at least according to the Biden administration, made the perfect backdrop for a pro-vax message.
You know something’s awful when it’s posted to Twitter by a famous pop star who boasts more than 14 million followers, and it gets a whole 20k “likes” and fewer than 3,000 shares. And the internet agreed.
You willingly shared this? I miss shame.

Then again, this is the same White House that brought you this monstrosity back in August, so what can you really expect?
