The backlash was swift, with social media users proclaiming Moo Deng as “canceled” over her so-called political prediction. Many criticized her involvement in such a serious topic, humorously pointing out that as a hippo, her political opinions should not be taken seriously.

Supporters Defend Moo Deng

Amid the criticism, some fans came to Moo Deng’s defense, arguing that she is too young to understand the implications of her actions, given that she is only four months old. Moreover, they pointed out that she never claimed to possess any predictive abilities, rendering the outrage unwarranted.

Moo Deng is too young to fully harness her powers as a clairvoyant so this might not be true. She has a long way to go before she is 100% accurate. — November 4, 2024

friendly reminder that a prediction isn’t an endorsement!!!! moo deng is still just a baby she probably can’t even read yet. be nice to her — November 4, 2024

Did Moo Deng Truly Predict the Election?

Several speculations have emerged, suggesting that the video may have been manipulated to portray Moo Deng as a political oracle. TikTok creator @indipine, known for her amusing videos about baby animals, shared her thoughts on the matter. She proposed that Moo Deng’s choice was influenced by her mother, Jona, who may have reached for the dish associated with Harris first, leaving Moo Deng with no other option.

I will wake up tomorrow and have no memory of ever making this video

Ultimately, it is clear that Moo Deng’s actions should not be taken as astrology or political endorsement. At her tender age, she remains an innocent baby hippo, and her decisions should be viewed as such.
