An AI-generated video parodying the hit show Rick and Morty was posted on the White House’s official social media channel and has sparked backlash, with many pointing out its insensitivity to the current climate.

The now-viral clip is based on the opening sequence of the popular animated science-fiction sitcom created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland.

It sees Donald Trump and J.D. Vance piloting a flying saucer as they are chased by a winged demon, showing a space alien being arrested by border czar Tom Homan, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer removing his face to reveal he is a robot.
