Rep. Bennie Thompson displayed a poster of an AI-generated image falsely depicting the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in which one AI-created federal agent is clearly missing a head during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday.
“CBP personnel shot Alex Pretti — and he was face down on Minneapolis’s sidewalk — killing him in broad daylight,” Thompson said as the fake, AI-generated image was displayed behind him while he attacked the Trump administration’s U.S. Department of Homeland Security.Ironically, the Democrat congressman went on to claim that U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “gaslit the public” and “made up a demonstrably false story about Mr. Pretti” as the fake photo remained showcased behind him. However, one would assume that Thompson, the ranking member of the committee, should have known better, given that Sen. Dick Durbin recently faced heavy backlash for displaying the same fake, AI-generated image while delivering remarks on the Senate floor late last month.— which included video footage of his remarks — to blast the senator and point out that he had presented a photo featuring an AI-created federal agent who was clearly missing a head.“Whether you knew it or not, you presented an AI-generated false image as fact on the Senate floor. You should be censured, if not removed from office,” another X user Durbin’s X post was even hit with a Community Note explaining to the public, “This photo the senator shows has been digitally altered from the original screen capture of the incident that killed Alex Pretti.” “The kneeling officer on the right has no head, and other seemingly clear but fictional details are created from the original blurry image,” the Community Note adds. During his remarks, Durbin had gotten yet another piece of information wrong, falsely claiming that the 37-year-old was shot by an ICE agent. Unlike Durbin, Thompson at least correctly noted that Pretti had been shot by a Customs and Border Protection official, but nonetheless failed to display a real image of the event while attacking the Trump administration on Tuesday.“There is ZERO doubt @BennieGThompson knows this image is an AI fake, but Dems continue to show it to further rile up and activate their base to attack federal law enforcement,” another, before citing several hoaxes pushed by Democrats over the years. “Can Democrats be believed about anything? Nope. They cannot.”Bernie Sanders: 'Trump Is Completely Crazy and Delusional or Just a PatholoWATCH: Delivery Driver Detained in Nancy Guthrie Abduction Case Says ‘I Didn’t Do Anything’‘Real Housewives of New York City’ Star Jill Zarin Fired from ‘Golden Life’ Reunion Show After Bashing Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show Stephen A.
