Producer-singer-songwriter and boyfriend of Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, has fallen into a nearly ubiquitous celebrity trend: creating an echo chamber of empty political commentary.
Josh Duboff of Vanity Fair interviewed Antonoff June 15, 2017. The musician’s comments on the President and his family were particularly nasty – and, frankly, false.
Antonoff told Vanity Fair: “Walks like a racist, white supremacist, talks like a racist, white supremacist: ding, ding, ding! He’s actually even worse than a racist white supremacist …Where does he get off oppressing other people?” Antonoff accused Trump of ‘oppressing gays.’
Yet the President has openly supported the LGBTQ+ movement, considering gay marriage to be a “settled” issue. Trump has also decried white supremacy in an interview with the The New York Times in November 2016. “I disavow and condemn them,” Trump told a slew of NYT journalists, referring to white supremacist groups who vocally supported him during his candidacy.
Antonoff also remarked none-too-fondly on “those fucking Kushners.” His apparent hatred for the eldest first daughter’s family was not rooted in any particular piece of evidence.
Lena Dunham, who is dating Antonoff, also managed to bring her boyfriend’s music back to politics. When speaking with Duboff on Antonoff’s songs, Dunham said, “It’s funny, because I never know what [each song] is about, and I’m usually wrong. I’ll be like, ‘Is this one about me?’ And he’ll be like, ‘No. This is about life in the Trump administration … I truly never know what’s about me, what’s about his sister, what’s about his experience with politics.”
Antonoff isn’t saying anything new. Katy Perry, Tom Morello, Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Julianne Moore, and Meryl Streep – to name just a few – have also contributed to this increasingly vacuous echo chamber.
Boyfriend?!?!?!?!
Now that’s NEWS!
Bet he gets off on the molestation stories Lena left out of her book.
He has it for a girlfriend ....of course he’s unhinged.
Any man who would have sex with the filthy ugly Lena Dunham is clearly severely mentally ill.
She has a BOYFRIEND???? OMG!!! He must be the biggest GIRLIE GUY on the face of the earth!!
Question withdrawn.
O SOLO MIA!!! What a PUSS!!!
"...worse than a white supremacist..."
These ‘celebrities’ know that saying crap like this will get their name in the news and face on the TV. That’s what they want. ANYthing to get that next bit of adrenaline rush. They also know that producers and directors may be watching and will think kindly of them for their next project......................Brown Shirt Brown Noser Posers................
Didn't have to call him unhinged. The fact that he's with that skank implies his lack of mental stability.
I can’t even imagine my dad’s reaction if I ever showed up dressed like that unless I had a full time gig with the circus!
Imagine the weird thoughts that would have to be running through somebody’s mind who would admit to being that thing’s boyfriend.
Uh, I’m trying to eat a late lunch here....
According to his Wikipedia biography, he suffers from depression and germophobia.
It doesn’t say if they came before or after he started dating Dunham.
Make these foul mouths prove Trump is a racist or anti-gay. Liars and total scums.
