   The White House has joined the online roasting of Democratic House   
   members for their viral “choose your fighter” TikTok video.   
      
   “Democrats not be cringe challenge. Level: impossible,” the Trump   
   administration’s rapid response account posted on the social platform X   
   along with the video.   
      
   The video, first posted by influencer Sulhee Jessica Woo to her 5.6   
   million TikTok followers on Wednesday, follows a trend of video   
   game-inspired “choose your character” clips popular on the social media   
   platform. It was posted a day after President Trump’s joint address to   
   Congress where Democrats actively protested his administration with   
   jeers and signs.   
      
   Democrats have been at odds over the future of the party after the GOP’s   
   sweep across the White House and both chambers of Congress in November.   
      
   The Democratic members’ new video, which has been met with mockery   
   online, is set to the character selection music from the game Super   
   Smash Bros. It features House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.)   
   and Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Jasmine Crockett   
   (Texas), Judy Chu (Calif.), Lauren Underwood (Ill.) and Susie Lee (Nev.).   
      
   The video begins with “CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER” across the screen and with   
   boxing glove and American flag emoji before flashing between the members   
   showing off their fighting skills. Their positions and amusing trivia   
   appear to the side, all in the style of a video game selection screen.   
      
   Among the highlighted facts: Ocasio-Cortez is “a Trekkie,” or Star Trek   
   fan; Clark, who is recognizable for her silver-gray hair, is “not into   
   hair dye;” and Crockett is “not a morning person.”
