Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said Monday that Donald Trump’s posting of a deepfake video that featured Democratic leaders slandering migrants and trans people was what a “little boy” would do. (Watch the video below.)
Marshall wasn’t siding against the president, but his explanation to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins sure didn’t legitimize Trump’s bigoted Truth Social entry.
After meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader (D-N.Y.) Hakeem Jeffries, to perhaps avoid a government shutdown, Trump shared the AI clip, and Collins played a portion of it for Marshall.
“Look, guys, there’s no way to sugarcoat it,” the faux Schumer says with mariachi music playing in the background and a faux Jeffries wearing a sombrero. “Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke, trans bullshit. Not even Black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us.” (The full video also shows Schumer saying “illegal aliens” can’t speak English, “so they won’t realize we’re just a bunch of woke pieces of shit, you know?”)
“Is that appropriate in your view?” Collins asked Marshall.
