Michigan GOP congressional candidate posts deepfake of MLK Jr. endorsing him
'I have another dream': Congressional candidate posts deepfake of MLK endorsing him
The GOP candidate said he didn't post the video, but followed up saying that he thought MLK would endorse him if he were alive.
FLINT, Mich. (FOX 2) - A Michigan Republican running for Congress is facing backlash after a video using the voice of Martin Luther King Jr. to endorse him was posted.
The video posted to Anthony Hudson's TikTok last week includes a photo of the candidate for Michigan's 8th District in Flint, along with deepfake audio from the late civil rights leader.
"I have another dream. Yes, it is me, Martin Luther King. I came back from the dead to say something," the audio says. "As I was saying, I have another dream that Anthony Hudson will be Michigan's 8th District's next congressman. Yes, I have a dream again."
