The two Louisiana Republicans in a primary runoff for a U.S. Senate seat are at odds over an AI-generated video.
State Treasurer John Fleming shared the video, which features a deepfake version of Congresswoman Julia Letlow saying she planned to become a Louisiana university president when "my poor husband died and I was appointed to his Congressional seat."
Letlow won a special election in 2021 to fill her late husband's seat.
She's demanded Fleming take down the video, saying he crossed the line by bringing family into the race.
