Jack White took to Instagram over the weekend to wring his hands over Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, Joe Rogan, and Guy Fieri saying hello to Donald Trump at UFC 287:
White took to his own personal Burn Book, his Instagram account, and defiantly and bravely wrote:
Anybody who "normalizes" or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book. That's you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri. This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate.
So brave! I like his self-important “This is a statement from ME and my opinion is too precious to subject it to the test of debate.”
If White wants to publicly identify as an ideological bigot who diminishes others by reducing them to mere R or D political affiliations, that’s his choice. It isn’t his choice, however, to choose that others not debate it.
An insane society is one where people can be called onto the carpet simply for saying “hello” to someone — in this case a former president — and make polite conversation at a public event. The only response from any of those involved should be “Yeah, and? It’s the former President of the United States and I, being not a jackass, said hello. Take a Midol.”
Jack White is a pretentious d-bag.
Looks like I won't be reading his book.
