GOP Candidate Endorsed By ‘Back From The Dead’ MLK In Unhinged AI Video
HuffPost
Donald Trump loyalist Anthony Hudson initially slammed the clip shared on his social media as "STUPID and DISRESPECTFUL" but soon performed a bonkers 180.
Michigan Republican primary congressional candidate Anthony Hudson wildly backtracked after initially apologizing for a video — that was shared on his TikTok account — in which he was endorsed by an AI-enhanced voice that sounded like civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.
“I have another dream. Yes, it is me, Martin Luther King. I came back from the dead to say something,” the voice said in the clip. “As I was saying, I have another dream that Anthony Hudson will be Michigan 8th District’s next congressman. Yes, I have a dream again. OK, now I am going back to where I came from. Goodbye.” The voice of Donald Trump loyalist Hudson then said he “approves this message.”
Heartland Signal shared the video on X, formerly Twitter, where it drew criticism.
The clip was removed from TikTok soon after, said the outlet.
On X, Hudson first struck an apologetic tone as he blamed a volunteer for giving his “social media credentials to one of his friends who then posted an AI video without my knowledge.”
