MAGA Rep Gets Worked Up Over AI Post of Fake Tim Walz Hating Trump

West Virginia Rep. Riley Moore imagined calling the police on someone who looked like Walz but wasn’t.

A Republican member of Congress appears to have been duped by an AI-generated video of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

West Virginia Rep. Riley Moore reposted a 15-second clip to X showing Walz’s face superimposed on a body wearing a “F--- Trump” T-shirt and dancing on an escalator to The Pussycat Dolls’ hit 2005 cover of “Don’t Cha.” The apparent creator of the video, X user @its_The_Dr, captioned it: “Something is wrong with Tim Walz.”

“If you were at the mall with your kids and this guy rolled down the escalator, you would call the cops and get him banned,” Moore captioned his retweet of the video.

Moore’s post was soon hit with a community note from other X users informing him—and all other viewers—that the man he was imagining calling the police on was not the Democratic former vice presidential candidate.
