A Democratic activist in North Carolina is using artificial intelligence to mimic the voice of Lt. Governor Mark Robinson (R-NC) as part of a campaign to malign the Republican during his gubernatorial campaign.  Robinson‚ the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for North Carolina governor in 2024‚ is being targeted by Democrat donor Todd Stiefel who set up a racially-charged mock campaign website for a faux-candidate named “Mark Rottinson.” The website features a series of made-up quotes attributed to ‘Rottinson‚’ AI voice mimicking of Robinson‚ and a product line of campaign merchandise making fun of Robinson for being a black conservative.  Stiefel‚ who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democrats including North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein‚ told local outlet WRAL that he plans on spending a million dollars to stop Robinson from flipping North Carolina red. Federal records reveal that he already has given $200‚000 toward “Americans for Prosparody‚” a now-terminated PAC that claims credit for the ‘Rottinson’ website.  “The goal is to stop Mark Robinson and other extremists from winning elected office‚” he said. “And the best way to beat Mark Robinson is to start this week‚ when people are paying attention.” Stiefel’s website features fake campaign products like a pillow that says “Black People Achieve Little‚” and “Marks Magical Mirror for Black People to See Who is to Blame for Their Problems‚” showing a picture of a black man looking into a handheld mirror.  The website also portrays ‘Rottinson’ with a fake mustache and wearing a white hat and filled with made-up quotes and anecdotes.  ‘Mark Rottinson’ campaign website. “You deserve to be represented by someone phenomenally normal‚” a quote from Mark says. “Someone like yourself. You don’t need an unhinged slick politician. You need me. I’m palpably sane and remarkably hinged. Like you‚ I’m just a typical guy who promotes the Confederacy‚ thinks superhero movies are Satanic‚ and knows Bill Cosby was the victim of an Illuminati conspiracy. Vote for me because I’m just like you!” In one section promoting a fake book by ‘Rottinson‚’ Stiefel uses AI technology to mimic Robinson’s voice to say things like‚ “If I had a professional wrestling persona‚ his name would be ‘the Big Banana‚’” and telling stories about getting high as a child on the playground.  Under a section on his platform‚ the website says Rottinson supports a program to give machine guns to kids in pre-K and that he believes that the “only CRT that should be shoved down kids’ throats should be Christ’s Righteous Truisms!” Robinson has decried the website and billboards as a smear campaign targeting religious Americans.  “This is a typical Democrat smear campaign‚” Robinson spokesman Michael Lonergan said. “[The state Democratic Party] recruited one of their deep-pocketed donors — a far-left‚ anti-religious activist crusading against Americans of faith — to attack Mark Robinson. Stiefel’s low-rent website is full of fake clips and outrageous lies. North Carolina voters will see right through it.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Both Stein and the North Carolina Democratic Party have claimed ignorance of the campaign. Stiefel gave $5‚600 to the NC Democratic Party in March 2023 and has given thousands to Democrats like Cheri Beasley‚ Roy Cooper‚ and Joe Biden over the past several years. Robinson rose to prominence in 2018 after a speech he gave in favor of gun rights went viral before he went on to being elected the first black lieutenant governor of North Carolina in 2020. He has been an ally of former President Donald Trump who has endorsed his run for governor.

On Monday‚ after the company became aware of his comments‚ the spokesperson said the Instagram video was removed. The campaign’s removal and Hudson’s termination was due to Hudson’s history of controversial comments‚ not his gender identity‚ the spokesperson said. Hudson himself previously attempted to explain away his old posts when they came to light after he became a minor celebrity. “Some tweets that I posted in 2015 are resurfacing and honestly I don’t know what to say‚ I don’t remember having written such barbarities‚” he said‚ according to a translation of his posts. “At that time I dedicated myself to saying nonsense‚ the heavier the better‚ because I thought that ‘dark humor’ was funny.” The backlash over Doritos Spain’s decision to partner with Hudson echoes the reaction in the U.S. to Bud Light collaborating with trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney last year. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Bud Light’s parent company lost $395 million in the aftermath of a boycott. Target faced an expensive boycott last year as well over its Pride Month merchandise‚ which included a kid’s swimsuit with a tag reading “thoughtfully fit on multiple body types and gender expressions” as well as “The Pronoun Book” aimed at children.  

Broncos QB Russell Wilson‘s time is up in Denver. According to reports‚ the team notified the quarterback that they will be moving on from him after just two seasons. ESPN Senior NFL insider Adam Schefter announced the news on X‚ saying‚ “Broncos notified QB Russell Wilson that he will be released after the league year begins March 13.” In a second post‚ Schefter shared a statement from Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton and Denver’s GM George Paton about moving past Wilson and making the team stronger for the 2024 season. “On behalf of the Broncos‚ we thank Russell for his contributions and dedication to our team and community while wishing him the best as he continues his career‚” Paton and Payton said in a joint statement. Russell Wilson will get $39M in cash from the #Broncos in 2024. This means he could potentially sign with a new team for the NFL minimum‚ as any new contract he signs would be coming off that $39M. That alone makes him one of the most fascinating QB free agents in a long time.… https://t.co/s0cnSdJFom pic.twitter.com/aAFQyePrmi — Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) March 4‚ 2024 “As we move forward‚ we are focused on building the strongest team possible for the 2024 season and beyond‚” the statement added. “We are excited to improve this offseason and will have the flexibility to get better through the draft and free agency.” A short time later‚ the former Seattle Seahawks QB posted a letter on X to Broncos fans and the community he had called home‚ even though it was just for a short time.  “Over the last two years you have welcomed my family and me with open arms and have embraced us as members of the Denver community‚” Wilson’s statement read. “This city will always hold a special place in my heart.” “Our family grew here‚” he added. “We made countless memories and friendships and formed relationships that will last a lifetime.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP He then thanked his teammates and closed out his lengthy letter by writing‚ “Tough times don’t last‚ but tough people do. God’s got me. I am excited for what’s next.” Noticeably absent from Wilson’s letter to the city and fans was anything about the Broncos head coach or GM. By releasing Wilson in March‚ Denver will avoid a $37 million guaranteed trigger for the 2025 season that would’ve taken effect this month‚ but they still will owe him the $39 million he’s guaranteed this season regardless‚ Yahoo Sports noted. And the team will take on $85 million in total dead salary cap over the next two years by releasing him‚ the NFL reported. In March 2022‚ Seattle traded Wilson to the Broncos. He is 35 years old and is entering his 13th season in the NFL.

Who says that a guard dog has to be a large breed? Tango is proof that even a small hospice dog can be a hero! This sweet pup has been through a lot lately. He’s in renal failure and has a heart murmur. No longer able to care for Tango‚ his last family surrendered him to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL). Here‚ he entered the shelter’s Golden Paw Hospice foster program. The goal is to ensure more terminally ill pets live in the comfort of a home rather than a shelter. This way‚ they live out the rest of their days happily‚ should they not find a permanent home in time. Best of all‚ the shelter covers all medical costs and works closely with the foster families to maintain their four-legged friends health. Instagram Tango’s foster family has been enjoying his company for a while‚ but after last week‚ they’re all-the-more grateful for the talkative pup. Without his humans realizing it‚ intruders broke into the house. Without hesitating‚ tiny Tango barked away at the strangers in his newest home‚ scaring them off in the process. He did this so quickly‚ in fact‚ that they were only able to get away with a few small items. Plus‚ his humans were made aware of the situation‚ too! Brave Hospice Dog Scares Intruders‚ Becoming a Hero Instagram “As a special thank you‚ Tango’s foster family attempted to reward him with a French fry – a rare bit of human food that he is usually not allowed‚” ARL shares on Instagram. “Tango turned it down and demanded cuddles instead!” Although the family is still shaken up by the burglary‚ they can rest assure that Tango has their back. “… they’ve told us Tango is back on duty‚ spending the day watching out his window from a pile of pillows on the back of the couch and alerting them to anything suspicious‚” ARL continues. Instagram Tango is a hero to his foster family‚ of course‚ but word of his bravery has spread far beyond Iowa. What a great reminder that pets of all ages and health make the perfect companions! “Tango is in renal failure and has a heart murmur‚ but he clearly still has tons of spirit and great quality of life‚” the rescue says. “He is a perfect example of why our Golden Paw Hospice foster program exists‚ and his foster family is committed to having him as part of their family for as long as he has left.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
