Grammy-winning musician Jack White went viral earlier this year for bashing President Donald Trump in a two-page Instagram post, calling him a “low-life fascist,” among other insults.
In a comeback, he has now bashed Republican Congressman Tim Burchett after the politician shared an AI-generated video of White likening Trump supporters to fascists.
Highlights
- Jack White slammed Congressman Tim Burchett for sharing an AI-generated fake video falsely making White insult Trump supporters.
- Burchett reposted the fake AI video on X, mistakenly calling White 'the cute girl from the Addams Family.'
- White condemned Trump and his supporters as bullies lacking class, accusing them of spreading childish rhetoric and fake Christianity.
Burchett reposted a fake video on X, where White can be heard saying, “Don’t even think about listening to my music, you fascists.”
Burchett captioned it, “That cute girl from the Addams Family got really ugly and angry.”

When one X user commented that the video wasn’t real, Burchett doubled down, replying, “You mean it’s not the girl from the Addams Family?” The original video has since been taken down.
“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. Trump really lowered the bar when he brought his scourge to this government.”

He continued, “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,” White added.
“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.”
This is not the first time White has made a long Instagram post about the Trump administration.
In August, he had called Trump a danger “not just to America but the entire world.”
He then got into a heated back-and-forth exchange with the White House after communications director Steven Cheung called White a “washed-up, has-been loser” who is “masquerading as a real artist.”

White fired back on Instagram, saying, “‘Masquerading as a real artist’? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, Trump is masquerading as a human.”
But his retort didn’t stop there. “He’s [Trump’s] masquerading as a Christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy,” White continued.
“He’s been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he’s involved in has prospered except by using other people’s money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift.”

White then attacked Cheung and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, calling them “professional liar toadies” and accusing them of “covering up and masking [Trump’s] fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis.”
At another point, he called the administration “petty and pathetic and thin-skinned.”
That after White Stripes co-founder Meg White filed a lawsuit against Trump, accusing him of “flagrant misappropriation” for using their song ‘Seven Nation Army’ in a social media post.
The White House has yet to respond to White’s latest comments, but for the rock musician, that would only be a “a badge of honor.”
