According to reports, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has found herself at the center of a digital storm after allegedly posting — and quickly deleting — an AI-generated video on X.
Reportedly, the post included a dramatic musical tribute calling her “the leader of the future” and “a beacon of hope.” While that all might be true, the video screamed “campaign ad meets stock footage.” Meanwhile, the phrasing also gave off serious Trump vibes. And we’re not talking about policy—this was full-on MAGA-esque emotional branding with a glossy filter.
Copy-paste from Trump’s greatest hits?
Casinos, clubs, cocktails and lap dancers.

This is Trump’s vision for Gaza on the ashes of tens of thousands of Palestinians.
And the happy ending is Trump and Netanyahu enjoying a drink at the beach.

Let’s be real: if anyone’s mastered the art of vague, emotionally charged rally cries, it’s Donald J. Trump. And while Crockett is, thankfully, on the opposite end of the political spectrum, this AI-laced love letter sounded suspiciously familiar.
Naturally, critics from the right were on it faster than a Fox News chyron. According to reports, the clip felt like someone fed Trump’s speeches into ChatGPT and slapped Crockett’s face on the output. Hey, at least it wasn’t a completely tasteless AI-generated video of Gaza post-Trump takeover like Trump shared on Truth Social.
The AI elephant in the room
Still, from AI-generated campaign ads to deepfake endorsements, the political internet is starting to feel less like The West Wing and more like a poorly coded simulation. From the sounds of things, Crockett’s post, allegedly crafted by artificial intelligence, looked like it belonged in a futuristic campaign trailer, not on the feed of a sitting member of Congress.
Crockett’s camp plays it coy
Crockett reportedly scrubbed the post and stayed mostly mum on the details. No confirmation on whether AI created the video, or whether a human being somewhere actually thought this was a good idea.
Maybe it was a “creative experiment — or better yet, a staffer gone rogue. Either way, the silence didn’t help. The internet had already run wild with speculation. And let’s not forget: Crockett is no stranger to going viral.
At a time when voters are craving authenticity, Crockett’s foray into AI worship felt like the opposite. Whether this was a one-off glitch or a preview of what’s to come, one thing is clear: if your campaign content sounds like it came from Trump’s playbook and was built in a lab, expect people to notice.
