The German CSU has removed a controversial clip with its party leader Markus Söder on TikTok. The eight-second spot was meant to advertise a question-and-answer session there only.
The clip initially showed young women looking clearly surprised and then a hard cut to Söder, who was sitting at a desk. However, in the background was the song “The Bad Touch” by the American band Bloodhound Gang, which is less about political issues and more about the singer’s undeniable and insulting request for a woman to have sex – causing critical acclaim. votes on social networks and caused outrage.
“The ironically intended video was posted by the young social media team of the state leadership on the TikTok channel of the party. The party leader was not aware of this,” said a CSU spokesman on Wednesday when asked by the German news agency. After the party leadership became aware of the video, “an immediate takedown was initiated”. “We deeply regret any misunderstandings or injuries.”
