Clarissa Ward's Dance-Off: CNN Correspondent Hits Back at White House Critics

CNN's fearless correspondent, Clarissa Ward, has delivered a sassy comeback to the White House following their critique of her viral dance video. In a post shared on Instagram and Twitter, Ward responded with grace and humor, stating, "Dancing is good for the soul ❤️💃💪✌️." The video in question, uploaded on Tuesday, August 12th, showcased Ward busting some moves at various travel destinations while Peaches & Herb's infectious tune "Shake Your Groove Thing" played in the background.

The clip had a playful caption that hinted at her upcoming assignment: "Drinks on me for anyone who can guess what I’m going to cover." A pair of solar eclipse goggles hinted at her role in CNN's coverage of the upcoming total eclipse. The journalist's lighthearted video seemed to strike a chord with many, but not everyone was pleased. The White House's Official Rapid Response account reshared the clip, but with some harsh criticism: "Imagine being a self-described ‘serious’ journalist at CNN and acting like a complete freak in public, embarrassing yourself all for some social media clicks," the post read.

However, Ward's followers didn't hesitate to call out the White House for their double standards, especially considering the account has shared clips of President Trump dancing on numerous occasions. Critics flooded the account with GIFs of the president and comments questioning their professionalism. One user chimed in, "You f***ing dorks tweet about the Trump dance all the time," while another asked, "Is this your guy?" Other users accused the Rapid Response account handler of unprofessional behavior and demanded they return to a more mature approach.

Ward's response to the White House's critique was a testament to her resilience and ability to stay positive in the face of adversity. She concluded her post with a reminder that, when it comes to journalism, "try being professional for once in your life and not attack citizens."
