AI Reagan says that he’s full of shit.

But AI Reagan has also endorsed the Party for Socialism and Liberation, so it all works out in the end.

I’m just wondering when the first candidate approved endorsement by AI Hitler is coming.

Yes, nothing says “I’m not racist” like turning MLK Jr. into an object you can puppet for your own personal gain. I hope the Republicans somehow mistake this for “woke” and reject him as hard as anyone with any decency and sense of right and wrong would.

I sincerely hope the MLK Jr estate sues him out of existence.

I wonder if the family of George H. W. Bush (especially George W. Bush, who it sounds like is not Donald Trump’s biggest fan) would approve of an ad where AI GHWB said “Read my lips; no more Trump!”

Given that W has come out against Trump and MAGA, he’s probably against this…

Of course they had to specify that this was in fact MLK Jr., because the average chucklehead that this ad was targeting wouldn’t recognize the voice. What a POS.

That’s in such incredibly bad taste.
Also, does the MLK state protect his image against stuff like this? I feel like if you did the same thing to Elvis, lawyers would be calling the next day.

Protecting likeness and rights of publicity is big ball of worms, that varies from state to state.

I hate that the headline is written with AI as the active agent here?
