MLK Jr. Deepfake Endorsing Trump Sparks Outrage from Daughter

Bernice King condemns the AI-generated video as 'vile' and demands its removal, highlighting ethical concerns over digital manipulation in politics.

The deepfake video falsely depicts Martin Luther King Jr. endorsing Donald Trump, claiming he did more for the Black community than any other president.
Bernice King, MLK Jr.'s daughter, has publicly denounced the video, calling it irresponsible and not reflective of her father's beliefs.
The video was initially shared by pro-Trump social media accounts, gaining over 10 million views and sparking widespread criticism.
The 'Dilley Meme Team,' a group known for creating pro-Trump content, is reportedly behind the deepfake video.
Concerns about the influence of deepfakes in the election have been raised, as both parties face challenges from AI-generated misinformation.
