As the US government barrels toward a shutdown, President Donald Trump shared a racist video on social media that appears to be AI-generated, depicting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and a mustache and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaking in a fake voice.
Jeffries and Schumer had met with Trump just hours before at the White House to discuss the shutdown.
In the video posted Monday night, Schumer is depicted as arguing for undocumented immigrants to get “free healthcare” because minority voters hate Democrats and they could use the votes in the next election.
As mariachi music plays in the background of the video, the fake Schumer voice says: “There’s no way to sugar coat it: Nobody likes Democrats anymore.”
The fake voice goes on to echo false GOP claims about Democratic policies and slam liberal leaders as “woke.”
The video was posted on Trump’s X account as well his official Truth Social account. CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
