As the 2024 election approaches and public sentiment becomes increasingly fervent, an upsurge in contentious social media posts is expected.
Yesterday, acclaimed rock star and Detroit native Jack White expressed his strong disapproval towards certain celebrities who were seen mingling with former President Donald Trump at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas during UFC 290 (Ultimate Fighting Championship) on Saturday evening. Notable figures among those spotted included renowned chef Guy Fieri, esteemed actors Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg, influential podcaster Joe Rogan, and Trump's close associate and former advisor Roger Stone, as reported by NBC.
Taking to Instagram, 48-year-old Jack White, an alumnus of Detroit's Cass Tech High School, made a resolute statement:
"I consider anyone who 'normalizes' or extends even an ounce of respect towards this abhorrent fascist, racist, con man, this repulsive excuse for a human being, Trump, to be equally reprehensible. That includes you, Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson, Mark Wahlberg, and Guy Fieri. This is not up for discussion or debate—it is my unequivocal stance." - Jack White III
It is worth noting that Jack White had thrown his support behind Senator Bernie Sanders during the 2020 primary elections. Presently, he primarily resides in Nashville but also maintains a writing retreat in Kalamazoo.
