Overview
- Snopes verified the 'MySafeSpace' page and White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers confirmed the administration approved hosting it on whitehouse.gov.
- The page was accessible at whitehouse.gov/mysafespace and was promoted by the White House’s X account on Nov. 2 as a site mocking Democrats.
- It featured altered images of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, derogatory descriptions, and contact links that opened emails to their congressional offices.
- Embedded links pointed to a White House 'Government Shutdown Clock' and a post alleging Democrats sought 'free healthcare for illegals,' a claim Snopes has reported as false.
- Advocacy groups and online commenters condemned the stunt as a misuse of public resources, with critics citing possible Hatch Act issues during the longest U.S. government shutdown.
