Dem Sen. Durbin Used a Fake, AI Generated Image of the Alex Pretti Shooting on the Senate Floor

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: "Mr. President, earlier this month the nation watched in horror as social media was flooded with images and videos of a federal immigration officer shooting and killing an American citizen, Renee Good, as part of the Trump administration's military enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Now, fresh on the heels of that tragedy, another one has struck. This weekend, federal agents gunned down yet another American in Minneapolis, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse at a VA hospital in Minneapolis. I'm going to show a photo of that scene, which is graphic, but I'm afraid it's necessary to appreciate the horror of that moment. This photo shows the last second before the ICE agent killed Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis. In his right hand is his camera, left hand holding the ground, no gun, obvious, no effort to resist, obvious. This was a moment when this man lost his life. He was characterized afterwards as an assassin, a domestic terrorist. The photo tells the story.”
