Fox News’ Harris Faulkner claimed that Donald Trump’s remarks “didn’t happen the way the Dems say it did,” as she falsely suggested that President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign used artificial intelligence to alter a clip of his rival.
However, Trump’s anti-immigrant remarks in the Biden campaign clip go unedited from a slightly longer video of the former president’s speech. The host, on Thursday, claimed the Biden-Harris HQ’s X account was under fire for selectively “editing” a clip of Trump’s recent remarks on the killing of Laken Riley.

An Utterly Response
“The Democrats say, ‘Please don’t call them animals, they’re humans,’ I said, ‘No, they’re not humans, they’re not humans, they’re animals,’” said Trump as he touched on the suspect in the killing, who officials say unlawfully crossed into the United States.
“You got that, right?” asked Faulkner before playing an extended version of the clip featuring what Trump “actually said.”
“The 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia who an illegal alien animal barbarically murdered. The Democrats say, ‘Please don’t call them animals, they’re humans,’ I said, ’No, they’re not humans, they’re not humans, they’re animals,” he said in the longer version of the video.

The Repercussions of a ‘Dignified Statement’
“First of all, how in one’s imagination did they edit all those words together even to put something like what they had? That’s amazing,” said Faulkner, who noted that she’s “pretty good” at editing as a journalist.
“What are they using? AI?” The Biden-Harris HQ later mocked Faulkner’s report by calling the network “desperate” to share an “unedited, verbatim” clip of the former president.
“No, this is not AI, @FoxNews. This is the presumptive Republican nominee for president,” the account wrote in another post.
