White House communications director Steven Cheung and chief of staff James Blair teamed up to make some remarkably awkward remarks about Gen Z influencer Harry Sisson, suggesting that the 24-year-old Democrat might like being spanked.
The heated social media exchange stemmed from a recent X post in which Sisson took a swipe at Blair and panned President Donald Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
“I can confirm that your orange daddy just got destroyed by Gavin Newsom at Davos after attempting to silence him,” Sisson wrote.
When Blair retorted, “Why do you call every guy ‘daddy’?” the California governor’s press office weighed in, reminding the Trump aide that “Daddy” is how the White House refers to Trump. Many of Trump’s conservative followers have made it a point to use the term, and the administration has recently seemed to embrace it.
Sisson, meanwhile, traded barbs with Blair that ultimately devolved into the White House aide writing back: “Quiet down or @StevenCheung will have to spank you. @harryjsisson.”
