U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow on Friday slammed Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming for sharing on social media an AI video depicting a fake version of her referring to her late husband.
“Posting this video is disgraceful and indefensible,” Letlow said in a real-life video she posted Friday, the first day of early voting in the head-to-head U.S. Senate primary between the two Republicans.
“Family is off-limits,” Letlow said. “Period. To include my late husband Luke in your video is unconscionable. You didn’t just mention his death, you made a spectacle of it like it was entertainment.”
On Thursday, Fleming shared what he said was a parody video he didn’t make. It depicts an AI-created version of Letlow lauding diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and saying she supports carbon capture and sequestration. Fleming re-posted the video Friday morning.
The AI-version of Letlow says, “I was aiming to become a University of Louisiana president when my poor husband died, and I was appointed to his congressional seat.”
In 2021, Letlow won a special election to fill the vacant seat of her late husband, congressman-elect Luke Letlow, who died of COVID-19 just months earlier in December.
Fleming on Friday said the Letlow campaign must first commit to taking “dishonest” and “nasty” AI videos of him off the internet before he would consider deleting the post.

I have been supporting Letlow for one reason and that is Trump's endorsement. However, I do get angry when I see people say shite that is not true out of ignorance or on purpose.
This is in reference to Flembots on here that keep saying she was appointed to her husband's seat in Congress. He died before he was seated in the new Congress and therefore she had to run for the open seat which she won.
You can make what you want of her voting record or statements because that is on record.

They need to hv a public debate I do not like her political advertisements against Fleming . Stick to the facts.i actually voted for her but I’m thinking twice now. Need to see substance not heinous attacks. Maybe they are true but I want to know the facts and differences between the two.

Are any of the claims in the video not factual?
If not, I don’t see the problem- it isn’t besmirching her husband.

We used to only have presidential debates. Fleming is desperate and paying for the anti CCS social media campaign. NO candidate every debates when leading by such a wide margin.

So, she's a COVID-19 survivor?
Must have been quintuple masked for years.

For one, I hate all this AI shite. However, one of the PACs supporting Letlow did the same damn thing.
Now that said, why the frick would Fleming's campaign social media people share something like this, knowing it would be turned against him?
I hate our current meme/tweeter political environment.

He does claim that she was appointed to congress. Only senators are appointed if an office holder resigns or dies while in office. She won the special election to get into congress.

I just saw that on her wiki… so, take that out or amend it and the info is reasonable?

Still voting Fleming. She's an empty suit.

That AI video is pretty mild compared to the ads that have been running against Fleming by The Accountability Project.

I hope not…
Hyperbole is common in politics though.

She won’t debate. Why would she? She almost doubled him in the primary, which I don’t understand how. She won’t even do an interview without knowing the questions upfront.
It almost seems like it’s rigged for her to win it. Landry is obviously behind her Trump endorsement. I drive all over north and central Louisiana for work and I have yet to see one single Letlow yard sign. Meanwhile I’ve seen hundreds upon hundreds of Fleming signs. I see very people on Facebook openly for her. 90% of the posts I see are pro-Fleming. Does not compute.

So not all of the claims are factual.
If they’d lie about that what else would they lie about?

It isn't as if the ads run against Fleming have been without inaccuracies.

Oh so you’re saying he just forwarded it like an email.
Nice of you to stereotype him as a boomer

All the ads I hear on the radio is about how Fleming is a RINO who is lying about his association with Trump. I voted for Fleming in the primary and will early vote for him in the run off. I don't trust female politicians. Trump was dumb to endorse her. I know he only did it because Landry goaded him into it.
