“You shouldn’t disseminate information that you know is ultimately doctored,” Texas congressman Will Hurd said Sunday.
By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 26 at 2:40 PM A Republican lawmaker said Sunday that he is concerned about President Trump’s sharing of a heavily edited video that spliced together several verbal pauses by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi .
Trump shared the video Thursday night on Twitter, ratcheting up tensions in his spat with Pelosi amid accusations from Democrats that the White House is stonewalling congressional investigations into the president’s personal finances, businesses and other matters. Rep. Will Hurd , shown in 2016, said political disinformation “gets at the heart of our democracy.” Trump’s tweet came on the same day that The Washington Post reported on the rapid spread of other distorted videos of Pelosi that have been altered to make her sound as if she is drunkenly slurring her words.
Hurd predicted that “within months, we’re going to be able to see this deepfake technology continue to grow.”
