Jack White Blasts GOP Congressman Over Post Featuring Faked AI Video of Singer: ‘What Kind of Joke Are We All Living in Now?’

White was incensed that a representative from his home state would stoop so low.

Jack White has made it crystal clear over the past few months that he is not playing the MAGA GOP’s games. After repeatedly slamming Donald Trump last year for everything from his controversial gold-plated White House makeover and East Wing demolition to the President’s “vile,” hate-filled obituary for beloved moviemaker Rob Reiner, White has not held his tongue when it comes to calling out the divisive rhetoric and actions of Trump 2.0.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was at it again this week when he took aim at U.S. Rep Tim Burchett after the Congressman from White’s home state of Tennessee shared a misleading AI-generated video that appeared to show the “Seven Nation Army” star telling Trump supporters to not listen to his music.
