We've Got Tik Tok Stars Interning In The White House Now, And This Benny Drama Kid Is Electric

NY Post - The White House has enlisted “Gen Z” social media influencer Benny Drama in the push to get young Americans vaccinated, with a parody video of him parading around as Jen Psaki’s “intern.”

The comedic influencer, whose real name is Benito Skinner, uploaded a new video on TikTok and Instagram late Monday co-starring the White House press secretary.

The video, which was filmed around the White House, features Drama’s “Kooper the Gen Z Intern” character wearing a white skirt and flashing his long nails.

It had been viewed more than 2.7 million times on TikTok and 850,000 times on Instagram as of Tuesday morning.

“Hi my name is Kooper and this is the day in my life as a White House intern,” the video starts.

Mea culpa on the clickbait headline there. 

This was all a savvy attempt of getting the word out about vaccinations, albeit a bold one.

I know next to nothing when it comes to tik tok, but from what I've gathered, Benito Skinner (a name straight out of Brazzer’s central casting) here is a big swinging dick. Zillions of followers and he’s got various personas he employs for different bits.

The White House, in a never-ending mission to get vaccination rates up, is pulling out all the stops. And I respect them for it. Ever since Lewinsky, the once distinguished role of White House intern has been tainted. Soiled you could even say. So instead of giving the few highly coveted positions out to the regular Ivy League standouts, and mega donors sons and daughters, why not fill them with people that are gonna make the needle move?

And you’re lying to yourself if you think “Kooper” here didn’t make the needle move on this.

At one point, Drama enters Psaki’s office declaring: “Jenny, I booked you a nail appointment, love.”

She responds: “I didn’t tell you to do that.”

“It’s called initiative,” he quips back.

Hysterics.

Is this the West Wing of the highest house of power in the world, or is it Bravo TV? I can’t tell.

Well done to all involved.

P.s.- what do you think Russia thinks of us when they see what’s going on today? Not talking about the little shithead millennial Russians who sit around and hack our ass all day. I’m talking about the rugged, weathered, Cold War hardened mother fuckers from back in the day. The ones that have been through some shit and seen everything. Bizarro world.
