Dems Mocked Over Cringe-Inducing “Get out the Vote” Videos
With just three days to go before Election Day, more Democrats are filming TikTok and Instagram videos to reach voters that are being called out as cringeworthy.
Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is the latest example, featuring singing in a recent video with Camila Cabello from “The Voice.”
“Why do they keep doing this,” National Review writer Nate Hochman, who shared Cortez Masto’s reel on Twitter, wondered.
“I am a one-issue voter, and that issue is political candidates not singing, dancing or making TikToks,” Hochman wrote.

“To be fair, politicians CAN sound like lip-synching fakes,” joked Tim Graham, NewsBusters’ executive editor.
Other prominent Democrats have attempted to leverage social media in a get-out-the-vote effort before Tuesday. Former President Barack Obama was featured in a TikTok video this week made by content creator Vitus Spehar that was mocked as “painful” and unfunny.
