Allegations have surfaced against Donald Trump and the White House regarding the utilization of AI technology in a video where the President attributes Charlie Kirk’s death to the “radical left.”
Kirk, a close associate of Trump, was fatally shot while addressing a gathering at Utah Valley University. Although two individuals were initially detained and then released, law enforcement continues to search for the perpetrator.
In response to the tragic incident, Trump denounced the killing in a video message delivered from the Oval Office, describing it as a somber moment for the nation and praising Kirk as a “martyr for truth.”
During his address, Trump also criticized his adversaries, accusing the “radical left” of fostering animosity towards conservatives by unjustly likening them to despicable figures throughout history.
Following the dissemination of the video, social media platforms erupted with claims that the White House had manipulated the footage using artificial intelligence, pointing out anomalies such as apparent distortions in the President’s hand movements. Some users speculated that the video might feature an AI-generated version of Trump delivering an official statement.
Various users highlighted additional irregularities in the video, with one individual suggesting that the footage, particularly a moment where Trump’s hands seem to jump, could be a product of AI technology. The video, posted by the White House on Thursday morning, has garnered millions of views.
The Mirror has reached out to the White House for a response regarding these allegations.
Separate videos circulating on social media captured Kirk addressing the crowd moments before the fatal shooting occurred, with onlookers expressing shock and panic as chaos ensued.
In remembrance of Kirk, a vigil is planned in London by the UK branch of a conservative organization founded by Kirk. Turning Point UK has invited supporters to join them at the Montgomery Statue in Whitehall on Friday evening to honor Kirk’s memory.
Jack Ross, the group’s chief executive, conveyed profound sadness over the tragic events, stating, “It’s absolutely shocking, we’re heartbroken over here in the UK.”
