Kamala Harris’s spokesperson responded
In an email sent to the Associated Press on behalf of Kamala Harris’s spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg, it was said that we believe that the American people want real freedom, opportunity and security, which Vice President Harris is offering, not the fake, manipulated lies spread by Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This video, which is being shared widely, is an example of how images, videos or audio clips are being used by AI to mock and mislead in politics at such a time.
