Paris Hilton Jokes She’d Run for Office Only If She Could Paint the White House Pink

The quip coincides with her push for laws against deepfake exploitation following a Capitol appearance with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Overview

  • Hilton made the tongue-in-cheek remark on NBC’s Today with Jenna & Sheinelle on Jan. 28 when asked if she would consider a political run.
  • Jenna Bush Hager responded, "Well, you could build a ballroom!", referencing President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project that has affected the East Wing.
  • Hilton emphasized her advocacy work, saying she has helped pass two federal bills and nearly 20 state laws designed to protect children.
  • Last week she appeared at the U.S. Capitol with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to promote the Defiance Act, which would allow victims to sue over nonconsensual AI-generated explicit content.
  • An official show clip on Instagram cut off before Bush Hager’s ballroom quip, prompting viewer comments calling out the omission.
