MLK Jr.'s Daughter Condemns 'Vile' Fake AI Video Endorsing Trump

Nov 5, 2024, 12:46 AM

Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter, Bernice King, has condemned a fake AI video that falsely portrays her father endorsing former President Donald Trump. The video, produced by Trump's social media meme team led by Brenden Dilley, was posted by the 'MAGA Resource Account' on Twitter and has been circulating online. Bernice King labeled the video as 'vile,' 'irresponsible,' and 'not at all reflective of what my father would say.' She demanded the video be deleted, highlighting the lack of consideration for her family and the broader implications of such misinformation. Additionally, Trump's team mocked his daughter in the process. This incident underscores the growing concerns about the integrity of media and the potential dangers posed by AI-generated content, especially as both political parties court Black voters ahead of Election Day.
