‘How do you trust the White House?’ Anchor corners Republican lawmaker on doctored images

MS NOW anchor Katy Tur squeezed Republican lawmaker Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) regarding White House fabrications and shared click-bait targeting U.S. citizens and protestors.“How do you trust the White House when they’re saying ‘we’re getting all the worst of the worst’ … when the numbers don’t back it up, and then also when they’re putting out fake imagery,” said Tur, referring to a White House shared image of a protester edited to transform her expressionless face into a wailing mess.“They arrested a woman the church protest. … DHS puts out an image of her where she looks composed, and then the White House puts an image out of her 30 minutes later, where she’s been AI manipulated to look like she’s crying and disheveled,” Tur told Lawler. “This is the White House here, putting out AI generated images.”“And these are not memes,” Tur added. “These are images that are just manipulated without saying that they’re manipulated. How do you trust the White House when they’re not being truthful like this?”“Well, I have not seen that image,” Lawler said — seconds before Tur posted the image for him with an informative wave.“… and, certainly, that should not be done from the standpoint of, you know, putting something out,” Lawyer continued. “It should be the … the exact image. But what I would say to you is this we have seen, obviously, on both sides, people want to highlight the story that fits their narrative.Tur also called out the administration’s overblown claims of “going after criminals” in recent raids, with the Cato Institute claiming 73 percent of people arrested by the federal government had no conviction and the New York Times stating less than 30 percent of arrested people between January 20th and October 2025, had a criminal record. “I don’t think a lot of Americans … trust that the way that you’re describing it is actually the way it’s being accomplished,” Tur told Lawler. – YouTube youtu.be
