The video mimics Ms. Harris’s voice, but instead of using her words from the original ad, it has the vice president saying that President Biden is senile, that she does not “know the first thing about running the country” and that, as a woman and a person of color, she is the “ultimate diversity hire.”

Here you go.

God that's bad. This is what I'd expected Russian trolls to do on Lemmy before getting down voted into oblivion, but I wouldn't expect a CEO to do this. This is fucked up.

I wouldn't expect a CEO to do this

Where have you been the last few years?

Yeah, that's a weird sentiment, as if CEOs were known for their honesty and integrity.

ESPECIALLY this one.

CEOs might be assholes, but they usually have some class when communicating to the public.

You can't train a Russian bot to sound as stupid as Musk - the tech just isn't there yet.

I think a nickname like diversity hire Kamala would be the best they could do. However it’s not a great nickname cause all she has to do is talk a little, sound competent and the name kind of falls apart.

Still better than laughing Kamala, that just sounds like a children’s toy.
