MLK's daughter fights back against viral AI-made video of her father
A fake AI-generated video showing Martin Luther King Jr supporting Donald Trump got millions of views on social media. His daughter Bernice quickly stepped in to denounce this digital manipulation
Just days before election-time a pro-Trump social-media account posted an AI-made video that caused quite a stir. The deep-fake clip showed civil-rights icon Martin Luther King Jr saying nice things about the ex-president (which never actually happened)
The made-up footage appeared on X platform Nov-3rd evening from an account named MAGA Resource; it wrongly showed Dr King telling Black Americans to support Trump because he did more for them than other presidents. The fake video spread super-fast getting 10-mil views in just 24 hrs
Bernice King – the civil-rights leaders daughter – had to step-in quick to speak against this digital trickery. The timing isnt random as both main political parties are trying hard to get support from Black voters before the upcoming election
The whole thing shows how AI tech can now make super-real looking fake videos that can fool lots of people: this is extra-concerning when its used to change historical facts and manipulate voters choices
