CNN Does Not Get the Joke: Trump White House Embraces the Sombrero Meme
The Trump White House continues to troll House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats with the sombrero meme. In a move that many find hilarious, Mariachi music has even been piped into the White House press briefing room to accompany the meme. However, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins doesn’t seem to share the humor.
What we’re actually witnessing here is frustration. Collins and other CNN journalists appear upset that former President Trump doesn’t care about their opinions — not one bit. This sentiment was clearly visible on Collins’ face during a recent segment.
The Daily Wire reported that CNN anchors John Berman and Kaitlan Collins struggled to grasp the Trump administration’s willingness to defend and even embrace what they described as a “racist” meme, without any apparent concern for the fallout.
During a conversation on Wednesday, Berman brought up the topic, referencing an AI-doctored video showing Minority Leader Jeffries (D-NY) with a fake mustache and sombrero, which had been prominently displayed in the White House briefing room.
“We played sound from Vice President Vance not just defending that AI racist video of Minority Leader Jeffries wearing a sombrero, but also, like, celebrating that video. It was playing on a loop in the briefing room today,” Berman explained, turning to Collins and asking, “What are you hearing from the inside about that?”
Collins responded by highlighting a key moment: despite heavy criticism from Democrats about these posts by President Trump, the administration is not backing down or apologizing. Instead, they are leaning into the controversy, playing the Mariachi music on loudspeakers repeatedly inside the briefing room, signaling that they simply don’t care about the criticism.
The sombrero meme is being embraced by many, including Trump-impersonating comedian Shawn Farash, who joked that “everyone is getting the sombrero treatment.”
It’s notable that Democrats have called Trump “Hitler” for years, yet now they are acting offended over what many view as a harmless sombrero joke. The meme and the music continue to be a source of amusement for Trump supporters and a point of frustration for his critics.
