Who are the singing nurses? Joe Biden slammed over 'North Korean' White House Christmas party

Biden continues to get slammed for failing to provide millions of free rapid Covid tests to Americans in time for a surge expected in January

The Christmas festivities at the White House went viral on social media this week as President Joe Biden was slammed for inviting nurses who were seen singing "We Need a Little Christmas." The event, which was branded "tone deaf", also featured first lady Jill Biden without a mask. According to the critics, the event was the POTUS' attempt to distract from his COVID policy failures. 

The famous Northwell Health's Nurse Choir were invited by the Biden administration to perform at this year's 'Spirit of the Season' TV special on Tuesday night. While some of the singers in the choir were maskless, the FLOTUS too was criticized for appearing without a mask despite the White House's indoor mask mandate in place. The Northwell Health's Nurse Choir, also appeared on NBC's America's Got Talent this year. The festivities went on as Biden continues to get slammed for failing to provide hundreds of millions of free rapid Covid tests to Americans in time for the Covid surge expected in January.

A number of people were quick to point out the poor optics of a bunch of happy nurses dancing at the White House while there was an ongoing surge of the Omicron variant across the nation which has caused cases in the US to skyrocket by 38 percent in the last 24 hours. The highly contagious variant continues to spread, and some states are even reporting an increase of cases up to 670 percent. 

'Straight out of North Korea'

The White House Christmas event was hosted by actress Jennifer Garner. Apart from the singing nurses, the show included performances from the Jonas Brothers, Camila Cabello, the Penatonix and others. Th event was mainly mocked over the singing nurses segment. Turning Point USA CEO Benny Johnson wrote, "Nothing says “DEADLY PANDEMIC - HOSPITALS OVERWHELMED, LOCK IT ALL DOWN!” quite like the cringe nurse choir taking time to learn a song and dance and perform at the White House for their regime masters. Straight out of North Korea"

Others also chimed in. One Twitter user added that the fact that some nurses and first lady Jill Biden went maskless at the event only made things look worse. "Video of nurses dancing in the midst of a pandemic: tasteless & tone-deaf. Video of nurses dancing in the White House in the midst of a pandemic while @FLOTUS nods approvingly: tone-deafness bordering on the obscene," the user commented, while another said, "Nurses singing at the White House > I thought the hospitals were so overwrought with patients and a mask less Jill? Trashy."

The next called it propaganda. "What in the Biden White House Christmastime Propaganda is really happening here. Someone needs to tell them nurses to get back to work and stop this silliness!" One more wrote, "Two years of your life that you will never get back, some of your children have never had a normal social interaction, and the only thing missing in this clown car circus freak show was nurses dancing at the White House. Thankfully Biden fixed that." A commenter tweeted, "Not to mention the 'nurses' are dancing and singing in front of the #BelovedLeader while real passionate oncology, pediatric and countless other #nurses and #doctors are home without a job and gifts for their kids and families. This is #SICK #FJB #FTheDemocrats #LGB #FJBiden."
