The ad shows Maine Gov. Janet Mills giving little kids syringes with hormones. They couldn’t use real video because that never happened.
Republicans are attacking Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) – who is running for the U.S. Senate – with a fake artificial intelligence (AI)-generated video of her giving a boy “a no-parent-permission-required estrogen kit.”
Mills has been a strong supporter of transgender rights this past year, refusing to bow to pressure from the president to ban trans kids from participating in school sports.
But instead of just criticizing her for her actual record of support for trans people, Republicans have decided to use deepfake videos.
Here’s the thing:
This is the reason why attorneys will say objectionable shit during a trial that is “stricken” from the record and the jury is told to disregard it-
Once it’s said, it can’t be unheard.
And with this shit, it can’t be unseen. Especially when the audience are a bunch of slack-jawed knuckle-dragging mouth breathers.
So calling it out is pretty pointless. They already believe it and they don’t change their minds.
