The White House has harshly responded to singer Natalie Maines of The Chicks, branding her as a "despicable nobody" and accusing her of having a "peanut-sized brain" after her recent criticism of President Donald Trump. Maines sparked controversy during her band's stop in New York City for their "Taking the Long Way" anniversary tour, where she expressed her desire to welcome former President George W. Bush, whom she previously criticized for the Iraq War, over Trump.
The White House spokesperson stated that Maines is part of the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" that has negatively impacted her mental state. Maines made these comments during a show at Beacon Theatre, where she shared her past experiences with the "shut up and sing" controversy from 2003, which influenced their hit song "Not Ready to Make Nice" and the subsequent documentary "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing."
