MAGA influencer roasted over scathing response to Billie Eilish’s anti-ICE speech

MAGA influencer Emily Austin has been roasted after recording her scathing response to Billie Eilish’s moving anti-ICE Grammys speech. 

The conservative sports journalist took to X on Monday (2 February) to post her live reaction to Eilish going on what she described as a “f*** ICE” rant, which she wrote was “painful to listen to”. 

Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell won Song of the Year for their song “Wildflower”. The “BLUE” singer used her speech to call out ICE amid president Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has seen several fatalities this year, including the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both in Minneapolis. 

“No one is illegal on stolen land,” Eilish began, adding: ”Yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we need to just keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter; people do matter. F*** ICE.”

In the clip of Austin recording herself, which has been viewed more than 23 million times, she can be seen pulling faces and mocking Eilish by repeating “f*** ICE” in a snarky tone. 

As the crowd roars with applause for the Grammy winner, she adds: “Oh, I’m so edgy. I said f*** ICE. Oh my god.” 

Austin’s reaction has received scathing response, with one person noting that her and her sister “both look like cheap MAGA trash”. 

“And that’s why she’s up there and you’re not HAAHAHHAHAHA,” another comment with more than 90,000 likes read. 

“The irony of you thinking you’re edgy while recording this video lmaooo,” a different comment read.

Someone else compared the pair to the White Chicks, while another responded: “Yet she’s on stage accepting her Grammy and you’re in the audience looking a mess and hating.”

“I find it interesting that they allowed two herpes simplex sores into the auditorium,” another comment read, while multiple comments simply reiterated Eilish message: “F*** ICE.”

Others pointed out that this is the same person who posed with selfies of the Epstein Files. 

“Says the one posing with selfies of the Epstein Files… then choosing to report on the Grammys instead of its actual contents lol,” one person wrote.
