California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) brutally taunted JD Vance over a debunked rumor that the vice president humped his couch as a young man.
“POOR JD! HIS SWEET BELOVED COUCH NOW COSTS MORE WITH THE TARIFFS!” Newsom’s press office snarked Tuesday with an AI video of a chubbier Vance hosting a show about couches.
“A design that did not merely support the body, but contained it,” the fake Vance said.
The potential presidential candidate peddling in AI foolery over something that isn’t even true perhaps signaled a shift in the deepfake wars.
Defying former first lady Michelle Obama’s “when they go low, we go high” ethos, Newsom answered low with low.
