This claim contains some truth but exaggerates the tone and certainty. Olivia Rodrigo did comment on a video the Trump administration shared that many people online viewed as racially insensitive. She spoke out about it, but the phrase “clapped back” makes it sound like there was a dramatic confrontation or an official political dispute. In reality, it was simply a public figure expressing her opinion online.

Another part of the claim that needs unpacking is the description of the video itself. Different people may view the content differently, so calling it “racist” without context oversimplifies what actually happened. It also doesn’t explain whether the administration used the video intentionally or if it was part of a larger communication slip.

The claim shows how entertainment news often dramatizes interactions to make them sound more intense than they really were.
