Oh, so it's hard to gather new information and you can't just replicate what local journalists do with AI? Who knew???

It's been two years since the Carpenter Media Group ended the publication of the Sherwood Gazette. A newspaper is now back in Sherwood in the form of the monthly Sherwood Sun.

Incompetence and dishonesty by a #Republican candidate for #Congress in my local #elections ...

#CharlieKim , one of four GOP candidates running for #Illinois District 11, had to remove a FAKE #AI video endorsement from "Donald Trump" off his campaign website this week.

Kim blamed his staff for posting it.

The video showed "Trump" standing in front of a portrait of Kim, saying that Kim would be "incredible" for Illinois. But a local newspaper was able to easily and quickly get verification from the White House that the video was not real.

White House staff told the local #KaneCounty paper that all video endorsements are posted to Donald's TrumpSocial account.

After the Kane County paper told Kim the video was fake, it was removed from his campaign site.

So either Kim is dishonest for posting LIES, or he is an idiot for believing Donald Trump ever even heard of him AND rude for not calling to thank the POTUS for his "endorsement."

It's good to know that someone as careless and (at best) easily fooled or (more likely) dishonest as this dimwit wants to represent my city of #AuroraIllinois and the nearby communities.

Illinois' #PrimaryElections are March 11, 2026. Many early voting polling places are already open.

FYI: "Charlie the Chump's" Democratic competition is Rep. #BillFoster , and this is his website:
