Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump Falsely Claims Kamala Harris Is Using AI to Fabricate Photos of Large Crowds at Rallies

HeadlineAug 12, 2024

In other campaign news, Donald Trump has falsely accused Kamala Harris of using artificial intelligence to fabricate photos showing large crowds at her rallies. Last week, Harris spoke in front of 15,000 supporters at an airport hangar in Detroit, but Trump falsely claimed the massive crowd didn’t actually exist despite extensive photographic and video evidence. Trump wrote, “There was nobody at the plane,” and that the massive crowd “didn’t exist.” This comes as numerous reports emerge that Trump has been shocked by the early strength of Harris’s campaign as new polls show her leading in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The New York Times reports the former president has repeatedly called Harris a “bitch” in private.
