""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?,""
""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.""
An AI-generated clip circulated showing Jack White allegedly shouting "Don't even think about listening to my music, you fascists," though the clip's voice did not resemble his. The MAGA Response Twitter account posted the AI clip to drive engagement, and Representative Tim Burchett retweeted it with an insulting comment about White's appearance. White issued a lengthy statement condemning Burchett for sharing fabricated content without verification and for resorting to playground insults. White criticized the degradation of political leadership and linked the decline to Donald Trump's influence. White has publicly criticized Trump previously, hosted Vice President Kamala Harris at Third Man Records, and remained active musically into late 2025.
