The ad shows Maine Gov. Janet Mills giving little kids syringes with hormones. They couldn’t use real video because that never happened.

Republicans are attacking Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) – who is running for the U.S. Senate – with a fake artificial intelligence (AI)-generated video of her giving a boy “a no-parent-permission-required estrogen kit.”

Mills has been a strong supporter of transgender rights this past year, refusing to bow to pressure from the president to ban trans kids from participating in school sports.

But instead of just criticizing her for her actual record of support for trans people, Republicans have decided to use deepfake videos.

      “jocks” is being generous. These are the people who got kicked out of the intramural team, so they became the bully instead.
