US Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth, Criticised for a Social Media Post

The publisher of "Franklin the Turtle" books has criticised Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth for a social media post depicting the beloved children's character shooting the alleged criminals. Kids Can Press in a statement said, "We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin's name or image." Also Grammy winning, Sabrina Carpenter took a swipe at the White House on Tuesday for using her song in a video about deporting migrants, saying it was "evil and disgusting". The ‘Espresso’ hitmaker wrote in post, "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda." The White House had used Carpenter’s song Juno in a 1 December social media post showing a compilation of ICE operations.
