Glynne and JET2 Voice Actor Zoe Lister Condemn Use of Viral Holiday Ad Audio
Queer British singer Jess Glynne has criticized the White House for pairing her 2015 chart-topping single Hold My Hand with footage of Latino migrants being humiliated, calling the unauthorized use “sick.”
The video , shared Wednesday on the White House’s official Twitter account, features detainees in handcuffs and leg chains boarding a GlobalX aircraft while the upbeat Jet2holidays commercial soundtrack, which includes Glynne’s song and a British voiceover stating “nothing beats a Jet2 holiday,” plays in the background. The post is captioned, “When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!”
The audio, originally intended for travel promotions, has become a viral trend on TikTo
