Overview
- On Dec. 29, Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett reposted a MAGA Response clip that fabricated Jack White saying, “Don’t even think about listening to my music, you fascist.”
- Burchett mocked White’s appearance by comparing him to Wednesday Addams in his caption to the fake video.
- After users pointed out the clip was bogus, Burchett doubled down by replying, “You mean it’s not the girl from the Addams Family?”.
- White responded on Instagram on Dec. 30, calling the repost embarrassing and criticizing Burchett and Trump-aligned leadership for playground-style bullying.
- Reports note the video feeds a long-running false narrative that White bars Trump supporters from his shows, and there has been no apology, retraction, or legal action reported.
