Official X accounts posts and then deletes AI-generated attack ad that prompts widespread denunciation
Personal attacks rather than policy: key takeaways from New York’s final mayoral debate
New York City mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo has been widely labeled as racist after his official X account posted – and then deleted – an AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani”.
Not even 20 minutes into the second mayoral debate, Cuomo’s official account, @andrewcuomo, tweeted the video. It was reshared by many before being deleted.
The Cuomo and Mamdani campaigns did not immediately respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.
