Paula White-Cain, the White House spiritual adviser, called on angels in Africa and South America to come to President Donald Trump’s aid in his fight to hold onto the presidency.
But it was White-Cain’s delivery — along with the very notion that she would call on angels in Africa and South America — that made her appeal something of a hit on social media. People gamely riffed on and remixed her prayer.
There was plenty to work with.
White-Cain, 54, who railed against a “demonic confederacy" of uncertain origin, broke out into chant of “strike and strike and strike and strike,” then “I hear a sound of an abundance of rain, I hear a sound of victory” followed by “victory, victory, victory, victory."
White-Cain then appeared to start speaking in tongues, punctuated by assertions that angels were on their way from Africa and South America to assist with the election.
Over the last day, the pastor and televangelist’s plea has been sampled, remixed and reframed for the entertainment of the tweeting masses and those on Instagram and TikTok.
Some merged her chanting with existing songs. Others spoke from the viewpoint of the angels she was was calling upon in her appeal.
Here are some of the best, most creative efforts circulating on social media.
First up, remix kings DJ iMarkkeyz and DJ Suede did not disappoint. Witness their “Victory."
Meme regular Saint Hoax recruited a spinning, applauding Britney Spears for this video mashup:
About those angels in Africa ... well, they want a word.
Did someone say Africa?
Toto is on the line, calling from 1982.
Or maybe this is a job for Slim Shady circa 2002
... and this Eminem cat who can find the beat, even when it’s hopelessly lost.
Andre Henry turned White-Cain’s words into “Strike (Booty Mix)," an electric banger!
Eclectic Method was on the case, too, with this “Angel Dispatch Remix.”
Even the metal guys showed up for this one, courtesy of the Swedish band Meshuggah.
