GOP Rep Riley Moore Duped by AI Deepfake of Gov. Tim Walz

Amid swirling rumors about President Trump's health and death, the White House swiftly dismissed concerns, attributing a visible bruise on Trump’s hand to routine factors and confirming his active public and social media presence, while some Democrats, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, appeared to express morbid anticipation regarding Trump’s status. Meanwhile, Republican Congressman Riley Moore was widely mocked for sharing an AI-generated deepfake video depicting Governor Walz wearing an anti-Trump T-shirt and dancing, failing to recognize the video’s fabricated nature despite community notes clarifying it was an AI creation. Moore's post sparked significant criticism and ridicule on social media for his apparent gullibility, with users questioning his judgment and calling for his resignation, though he has not deleted the post or responded to calls for comment. This incident highlights the growing challenges of misinformation and deepfake content in political discourse, as well as ongoing partisan tensions centered on President Trump and his critics.
