Jedward just took down Ian Brown and it’s the most 2020 thing we’ve seen today

You may remember a few days back Ian Brown outed himself on Twitter as an anti-masker and anti-vaxxer and it didn’t go down entirely well.

NO LOCKDOWN NO TESTS NO TRACKS NO MASKS NO VAX #researchanddestroy

— Ian Brown (@ianbrown) September 5, 2020

There were lots of enjoyable and effective putdowns, but we’ll stick with this one for now, from the great @mrnickharvey.

We only mention this because the former Stone Roses frontman was back on Twitter today, taking aim at the ‘lame stream media’ and the like.

So im a Conspiracy Theorist HA! a term invented by the lame stream media to discredit those who can smell and see through the government/media lies and propaganda #researchanddestroy

And Jedward – you remember – went viral with their response and it’s the most 2020 thing we’ve seen today.

Hi Ian you discredited yourself with your backward views and non logical actions👍🏻

— JEDWARD (@planetjedward) September 14, 2020

They didn’t leave it there either.

The Public have lost all respect and credibility for your views!

Your music and cheekbones are a dream ❤️but your tweets are a nightmare 👍🏻

Can’t wait to see Brown’s response. Kind of.

Jedward have carved out something of a reputation for themselves on social media, including encouraging people to wear masks during the pandemic, with tweets like this.

People with low immune systems are too weak to fight for their lives that’s why we all have to fight harder for them and take down this virus and stand up for what’s right

— JEDWARD (@planetjedward) September 13, 2020

And this.

Dear Dublin Anti Mask Protest! Get the fuck inside you selfish low lives

sincerely the rest of the country

They had this message for advertisers who no longer wanted to be associated with them.

To the brands that have decided not to work with us because we are speaking what’s right and we might offend your customers if they knew what u stand for u wouldn’t sell another product again we have the receipts 👍🏻 we have backbone so fuck you

— JEDWARD (@planetjedward) September 13, 2020

And here’s what people made of that.

Look, I didn’t know this year would involve me telling Piers Morgan “drag em babe!” or becoming a Jedward stan account but 2020 is a wild ride so anything can happen. https://t.co/4TMJ8TfGOL
