A video shared by a top Trump adviser contains audio edited to make it seem like an NBC reporter is mocking GOP presidential candidates.

A senior Trump advisor shared a video that seems to show an NBC reporter badmouthing Republican presidential candidates. It appears AI was used to imitate the reporter’s voice.

    The video in question, shared by a top Trump adviser, opens with authentic footage of NBC News senior Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake previewing the debate for the network. It soon cuts to video of each candidate as a voiceover — in Haake’s voice — makes disparaging comments about the candidates.

    “This is Ron DeSantis: An establishment RINO that wears insoles in order to look taller,” the voiceover says. “And this is Nikki Haley: Nobody really gives a shit about Nikki Haley.”

    I guarantee you there are a significant number of Trump fans to whom it wouldn’t even occur that an NBC news correspondent wouldn’t intentionally say ‘shit’ on a national news broadcast.
