Jack White slams Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson as ‘disgusting’ for engaging with Trump.

Musician Jack White Slams Celebrities for Greeting Trump at UFC Event

Musician Jack White has expressed his strong disapproval of celebrities who greeted former President Donald Trump at the recent Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 290 event in Las Vegas. White believes that even briefly conversing with Trump is crossing a line.

White specifically called out podcast host Joe Rogan, director Mel Gibson, actor Mark Wahlberg, and celebrity chef Guy Fieri for showing respect to the former president, labeling them as “disgusting” individuals. However, the crowd at the event had mixed feelings about Trump, as he entered the T-Mobile arena in Vegas with UFC President Dana White to a warm reception.

“Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of s*** Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book,” White posted to Instagram Monday. “That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri.”

White’s Instagram post included photos of the celebrities with Trump at the UFC event. However, it should be noted that the image he circled of Mel Gibson saluting the former president is actually from the UFC 264 event two years ago.

Trump’s Encounters with Celebrities at UFC Event

Throughout the night, Trump was photographed with Rogan, Gibson, and Fieri, and reportedly had a brief chat with Wahlberg. Trump’s meeting with Rogan sparked speculation on social media about a potential appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

White, the former lead singer of The White Stripes, has been a vocal critic of Trump for some time. He previously left Twitter after Elon Musk reinstated Trump’s account, calling the move “absolutely disgusting.”

In another Instagram post, White accused Trump of inciting violence and blamed his rhetoric for tearing families apart. Musk reinstated Trump on Twitter in November after a majority of users voted for it in a poll.

“That’s not ‘free speech’ or ‘what the poll decided’ or whatever nonsense you’re claiming it to be; this is straight up you trying to help a fascist have a platform so you can eventually get your tax breaks,” White argued.

White has also used Instagram to express his views on other political matters, such as when he criticized Trump and the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
