(30,877 posts)It appears that there is an AI video.
I can't find any verifiable record of this exchange.

Where was that?

(3,024 posts)exchange. A Senate hearing isn't subject to copyright infringement. And, a simple Youtube seach would turn up endless clips of the same interaction. It turns up NONE. But it doesn't have to be AI, that is actual footage of the hearing with someone (real or artificial) reading a false script. It can be fake without being AI, and Ai doesn't have to be untrue. Unfortunatley though, AI is and excellent tool for creating fakes and spreading lies, so what can you do.

angrychair
(12,441 posts)But respect her because she earned her CAB. Sen. Duckworth earned her CAB. Kegseth is a pretender. A liar.
Kegseth, the self-loathing drunk, is a fraud that has never experienced what those women experienced.
Like the women he has kicked out of leadership positions and made 2nd class citizens in the military they serve with honor.
Fuck that loser.

(30,877 posts)You need to fact check this.
Can't find any mainstream news verification of this exchange.
There is an AI generated video.

(131,074 posts)I did find a Youtube video with the same content as the one in the OP, which briefly showed the caveat "Altered or synthetic content," but that's it. I found no other references to this alleged incident anywhere on the Internet. Ernst did criticize him at a hearing in which she is wearing the same clothes and hairdo as in the OP video, for firing Gen. Randy George. I think this is fake.

(131,074 posts)The post really should be deleted, since apparently this never happened at all. Hegseth is bad enough without making stuff up.

(4,374 posts)There would bs real soundbites if this actually took place. I don't believe Joni Ernst would piss off Trump by doing this.

(187 posts)Whether this particular clip is real or AI, fuck her for voting to confirm him in the first place. She owns this catastophe.
Pinback
(13,633 posts)and, as others have pointed out, the whole thing looks suspiciously like AI with little if any basis in fact. Id love to be proven wrong, so I hope you or someone else will come up with video of the actual exchange.
Is this verbiage in the Congressional Record?
