Former The White Stripes frontman Jack White has responded to a false quote from David Harris stating he’s banning President Trump supporters from his concerts.
“I’m getting shown a lot of nonsense from twitter of maga people and bots attributing false quotes to me about excluding people from my shows. I’ve never said anything about ‘forbidding’ anyone from coming to my concerts. My own political views aside, I make music to share with anyone who wants to get something out of it, and I appreciate anyone who buys a ticket or an album to keep that train moving, if you’re not interested, that’s fine too, I’m just not going to let people (or bots) make up false statements from me so they can get clicks. Not trying to make a news piece out of this either please, this is just for my fans (whom I love and appreciate) to know I never said that kind of thing. -jack III.”
Harris had tweeted, “Musician Jack White FORBIDS anyone associated with MAGA from coming to any of his performances, now and in the future: “If you support that clown [Trump], my shows aren’t for you. Stay home and crank your own noise.”
The White Stripes were just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this month.
