However, some appeared to be duped into believing it was authentic.
In the deepfaked video, the CGI version of Warren can be seen claiming that"allowing Republicans to vote could threaten the integrity of the election and the safety of the electorate." U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren arrives at the U.S. Capitol on February 15, 2023 in Washington, D.C. A faked video of her purported to show her claiming Republicans should not be able to vote in the next presidential election."Since Republicans have a history of promoting policies that undermine the public's trust in the government, allowing them to vote could lead to an outcome that does not accurately reflect the will of the people," it purports her saying.
"Furthermore, allowing Republicans to vote could result in a surge of voter suppression tactics and voter intimidation, which could compromise the security and fairness of the election," it adds."For these reasons it is necessary to restrict Republican voting in the 2024 election." The faked claims not only seem to conflate the Republican party with its voters, but paradoxically claims that disenfranchising tens of millions of voters would lead to a democratic result.
