An AI-generated video of Kamala Harris and Jill Biden engaging in a physical altercation is going viral, fooling thousands into believing it's true. The video was taken at former President Jimmy Carter's funeral on Thursday, and it shows the two women sitting side by side moments before they engage in a full-on brawl.
However, the video has since been debunked as Kamala Harris' face can be seen morphing into someone else's while Joe Biden and Doug Emhoff try to pry them off of each other in an animated way. Nonetheless, the original video has also been going viral, given the ostensibly scalding tension between the two women.
Watch the video below:
All we know about Kamala Harris and Jill Biden's interaction at the ceremony as body language expert says the former was trying to act "smug"
In the original video, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are making their way to sit down next to an already-seated Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff. Though neither of them contacted each other.
No one shook hands, exchanged glances, or even stood up to welcome each other, save for Kamala Harris handing Jill Biden what looks to be the hymn book. Regardless, a source tells the Daily Mail that there is no love lost between the foursome, as they allegedly spent half an hour chatting just before the service began:
"It was very warm, it was very loving," the source said, adding that Jill and Kamala even "hugged and kissed" when the ceremony concluded.
Nonetheless, the alleged hostility became the talk of the town when even CNN's Jake Tapper picked up on it during his segment on Thursday morning. He said as he live-streamed the video in question:
"You didn't see a particularly warm greeting between the First Couple and the Second Couple."
A body language expert gave his two cents to the Irish Star:
"Sitting up on the balcony though we have Kamala sandwiched between two 'presidential' spouses and the air of permafrost from Jill looks evident," the expert said. "Kamala looks determined to retain an air of almost smug cheeriness, waving as though she won the election. Her cheeks are raised and rounded and her lips pursed in a smile of pure glee."
That same day, President Joe Biden was also ripped for seemingly "falling asleep" during the services, forcing his wife to nudge him. In a video circulating online, the incumbent president can be seen lowering his head, fueling speculations that he nodded off.
