Jack White is calling out a Tennessee congressman for falling for an AI video.
A since-deleted post on X, an account called MAGA Response shared a short, AI-generated video of what appeared to be White — wearing the same outfit he had during his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction this year — snarling, “Don’t even think about listening to my music, you fascist.”
The fake clip seems to suggest that White was telling Trump supporters to not listen to his music.
Tennessee congressman Tim Burchett reposted the video on X with the caption, “That cute little girl from the Addams Family got really ugly and angry.”
In response, the former White Stripes frontman issued an angry response to Burchett’s comments on his Instagram account.
“Can you believe that a U.S. congressman, that’s right, a CONGRESSMAN (from my state no less), a once hallowed and respected position in our society, would repost an AI generated video, containing a false comment that I never said and refuted (without researching that I might add) and like a 10 year old on a playground, add to it attempted insults to my physical appearance? What kind of joke are we all living in now?” he wrote.
“All of Trump’s lackeys and bootlicks like this elected official are cowards that would never talk this way to anybody like me or you in person,” White continued. “Trump really lowered the bar when he brought his scourge to this government. Neither him nor his sycophantic congressmen and women manifest class or dignity, they all just regurgitate cheap, childish, grade school bullying points and fake christian(!) rhetoric. It’s really sad how embarrassing our leadership has become, I so wish the average American conservative could have a conversation with any intelligent people in other countries around the world, just for one brief moment, and actually see just what a joke our government (and by proxy our country) has become.
“All down to giving power and a soapbox to low class playground bullies the likes of trump and Congressman burchett. The great state of Tennessee deserves better Mr. Burchett but you and your cult are too dug in and blinded to even realize it,” White continued. “Holding a bible in one hand and a flag in the other while you stomp out our democracy day by day in the service of one man’s ego so that he can use taxpayer money to receive his fake peace prize and tear down the White House brick by brick. Embarrassing.”
White has been a frequent and vocal critic of the Trump administration, saying at one point that the president was “masquerading as a Christian.”
