Jack White Condemns Rep. Tim Burchett for Sharing AI-Generated Fake Video

The Tennessee musician says the congressman spread a fabricated clip, underscoring warnings about officials boosting AI misinformation.

Overview

  • Burchett reposted a short AI-made video from the X account MAGA Response that falsely depicted White telling Trump supporters not to listen to his music.
  • The congressman mocked White in the repost with a Wednesday Addams comparison and later doubled down when users noted the clip was fake.
  • White responded with a lengthy Instagram statement calling the behavior embarrassing for public office and criticizing the use of synthetic media.
  • Multiple outlets confirmed the video was AI-generated and not something White actually said, though no apology or retraction from Burchett has been reported.
  • The exchange follows White’s recent, public criticisms of President Trump and his allies, adding to ongoing culture-war clashes around politics and music.
