A deepfake recording purporting to show Donald Trump Jr. advocating for arming Russian forces was shared by an official account for the national Democratic Party, fueling outrage against the deeply unpopular opposition party and forcing its communications team to retract related social media posts.

In the short audio clip, which appears to show the president’s son speaking with an unknown person, Trump Jr. essentially jokes about the hopelessness of Ukraine’s war effort and suggests that the U.S. “should have been sending weapons to Russia” instead.

“I honestly can’t imagine anyone in their right mind picking Ukraine as an ally when Russia is the other option,” a fake Trump Jr. voice said in the debunked clip.

“I mean, just think about it: Massive nuclear power loaded with natural resources everyone needs, literally the biggest country on the planet. And ha ha, there’s Ukraine, which has Chernobyl, and some radiation-proof dogs,” he continued in the fake clip. “Meanwhile, the Biden administration is like, ‘Oh, yeah, this is definitely the ally we need. Let’s dump all our money into them.’ Honestly, if anything, the U.S. should have been sending weapons to Russia.”

The audio of the imaginary discussion quickly went viral and was reposted on X by FactPost, an arm of the Democratic National Committee, which had taken down the post by Thursday. Conservative accounts, however, saved and reshared it with their own condemnations.

“An official DNC account —@factpostnews (run by former Kamala staffers) — posted fake, AI generated “audio” of Don Jr.,” wrote Johnny Maga.  “This is who we’re dealing with on the left.”

It is not the veracity of the claim it is the seriousness of the charge.

It is not the veracity of the claim it is the seriousness of the charge.

Tom Foley said, “The seriousness of the charge mandates that we investigate this.” “Even though there is no evidence,” he said, “the seriousness of the charge is what matters,” and of course, that’s when I started learning quite a bit about how Democrats act. The seriousness of the charge opens up the possibility that it might be true and therefore the seriousness of the charge is the story. Whether there’s any evidence or not.

Wish Rush was alive to see the dismantling of the DC bureaucracy.
