The GOP is bracing for the upcoming hearings on Matt Gaetz, predicting a spectacle far exceeding the intensity of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process.

It’s laughable to think that anyone would believe these obviously doctored photos, yet the target audience seems to be those who lack the ability to discern fact from fiction.
Using artificial intelligence to create fake images of a political opponent is not only low but also insulting to every woman in America.… Continue reading
