First Lady Jill Biden “tapped” a dance troupe to perform The Nutcracker at the White House… and she didn’t get the response she was hoping for.
The first lady described the routine as “playful.”
But critics blasted the video and described it as “explicit,” “abhorrent,” and “horrendous.” Some even demanded a sensitivity label.
“Looks like the WH switched from cocaine to acid,” one viewer reportedly said, referring to the cocaine discovered at the White House this year.
Jill Biden also faced criticism for promoting Dorrance Dance, a group currently soliciting donations for “police abolition.”
She called the video “a bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance.”

Jill Biden invited comparisons to her predecessor, former First Lady Melania Trump.
One person, in a comment obtained by the New York Post, said, “How utterly tacky, tasteless and ANTI Christmas. Melania’s was tasteful, seasonal, appealed to everyone and was absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous.”
One Twitter user turned the Biden’s two-minute video into a 23-second meme, complete with references to figures from the Biden administration.
