Franceinfo’s “true or false” unit returns to the relationship to disinformation by certain Republican candidates. Decryption, Monday January 15, by journalist Louis Augry.
The main favorite in the poll, Donald Trump, has recently circulated several fake news about his main competitors, notably Nikki Haley, currently behind him in the polls. He accuses him of being ineligible for the White House, because of his origins.
According to Donald Trump, her parents were not American citizens at the time of her birth in 1972. Having been born in South Carolina (United States), she is nevertheless eligible regardless of her family origins, indicates journalist Louis Augry, of the “true or false” cell, which specifies that Donald Trump “had used the same type of attack against Barack Obama in the past”.
All shots are allowed
However, Donald Trump is not the only one to use this type of practice. The team of Ron DeSantis, third candidate in the polls, shared a video where we see Donald Trump kissing Anthony Fauci, the scientist who was in charge of the Covid-19 crisis. The images were actually generated by artificial intelligence. Nikki Haley tries to distinguish herself from her opponents. She set up a website that tracks fake news from the governor of Florida.
