Jack White Slams Tennessee Representative for Posting AI-Generated, Ragebait Slop of Him Yelling About Trump
Source: Consequence
The spat seems to have started when the Twitter account MAGA Response, a page seemingly dedicated to farming engagement via Trump-related AI videos, shared an AI-generated clip of White furiously saying, “Don’t even think about listening to my music, you fascists.” Notably, the clip sounds very little like White’s actual voice.
Representative Burchett then retweeted the video, adding, “That cute little girl from the Addams Family got really ugly and angry.”

“Can you believe that a US 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?,” White wrote. “What kind of joke are we all living in now?”
“Trump really lowered the bar when he brought his scourge to this government,” he continued. “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.”

From Rolling Stone's article about this:

Ultimately, he described Congressman Burchett, and those like him, as embarrassing. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There will come a time in the future when none of these right wingers will admit to being a part of this cult from this time period,” he wrote. “All the MAGA hats will be in landfills and actual intelligent and honorable leadership will take their place. … I’m wondering if half of these so called representatives have ever actually read the Constitution that they pledged an oath to.”
Although White did not tell MAGA supporters not to listen to his music, he has called Donald Trump “a disgusting, vile, egomaniac loser, child,” for the president’s response to Rob Reiner’s death, and has said that he considers Trump’s insults a “badge of honor.”
In an op-ed, Rolling Stone praised White’s responses to Trump. “He’s speaking truth to power and getting under the president’s skin, and his punches are landing,” Senior Writer Angie Martoccio wrote. “We should listen to him now, more than ever.”

He’s been a grade A piece of shit since his time in the state house in Nashville. One of those guys you wished his mom had exercised her reproductive rights and saved us from his stupidity. At the very least strangled him with his own cord. 
A lot of chickenshit celebrities sitting on their hands. The list is looooooooong.
