In his post accompanying the ersatz video showing AOC wearing a black blazer and with her hair in a bun, Cuomo denounced the Democrat for having misplaced priorities.

“Nothing about hamas or people burning jews cars. But sweeney jeans ad? Deserved time on floor of congress? What happd to this party? Fight for small business …not for small culture wars,” he wrote.

Cuomo failed to notice that the AI-generated video bore a clear watermark stating it was “parody 100% made with AI.” - The supposed hard-hitting journalist also apparently forgot that Congress is not in session.

After the embarrassing gaffe, Cuomo acknowledged his error and removed the original post. However, his response attempted to shift focus back to his original criticism of the congresswoman regarding the Israel-Hamas war.

“You are correct… that was a deepfake (but it really does sound like you). Thank you for correcting. But now to the central claim: show me you calling on hamas to surrender or addressing the bombing of a car in st louis belonging to the idf american soldier?…dude?” he wrote.
