Neera Tanden roasted for believing ICE chased a ‘Viking escaping in a wheeled bathtub’ on Minnesota road

Neera Tanden roasted for believing ICE chased a 'Viking escaping in a wheeled bathtub' on Minnesota road

Former adviser to President Joe Biden, Neera Tanden. became an Internet laughing stock after she commented on an AI-generated video of ICE agents chasing a man in a Viking costume inside a wheeled bathtub on a Minnesota street. In her comment that she later deleted realizing her mistake, she took the chase video in all seriousness and observed: “50 years from now, people will look at this video and recognize our government had gone mad”. The viral chase video has an AI newsreader too to make it more believable. “We are live over downtown Minneapolis where, yes, that is a protester in a Viking costume riding what appears to be a porcelain bathtub on skate wheels — 15 ice agents are on his heels,” the AI newscaster yelped. “But look at this, he’s pulling away. Watch the slush! Watch the slush!”

‘Streets On Fire’: Minneapolis Explodes As Anti-ICE Protests Directly Challenge Federal Power

“Neera Tanden believes that ICE agents chased a protester dressed in Viking gear and sitting in a bath tub with skateboard wheels down the street, and that the Air Force was called in in response. Certain segments of the population just are not equipped to handle obvious AI slop,” one wrote. “50 years from now, people will look at these retweets and recognize that the Biden admin was stocked full of morons,” another wrote. “Unbelievable that she ever reached to the highest echelons of our government,” a third user wrote. A major ICE crackdown has been going on in Minnesota for the past few weeks. Despite the major row over the killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, the DHS did not take a step back but surged more resources to arrest criminal illegal aliens from Minnesota. The DHS said ICE arrested several gang members, including some convicted of violent crimes, in Minnesota. But the process has riled up the residents of Minnesota as the agents are marching on the streets, storming restaurants, daycare centers, school areas.
