You sort of have to wonder about Twitter sometimes. They keep suspending this user who produces deep fake videos for producing deep fake videos, thus Twitter says violating their terms of service. I've lost count how many times @PaulLahticks and all the variations on that username have been suspended. But since nothing goes away on the Internet, here is the video that you can no longer find on the internet - unless you really want to find it.

A Twitter account known for sharing satirical videos was suspended Monday after posting a manipulated video featuring former President Donald Trump and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.).
The account, run by a user named Paul Lahticks, is said to show Sinema enthusiastically introducing Trump during a recent rally.
“BREAKING: After Krysten Sinema joined forces with Mitch McConnell for a speech on bipartisanship in Louisville today, Krysten Sinema introduces Donald Trump,” read the now-deleted tweet.
Sinema has garnered widespread attention for regularly going against her party’s agenda. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called Sinema “the most effective first-term senator” he’s ever seen ahead of her speech Monday at the McConnell Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
“She’s what we lack in the Democratic Party today: a real moderate and a dealmaker,” McConnell said.
Although the majority of Twitter users saw through the poor quality video, some seem to believe it to be true.
The Twitter user responded to criticism that the obvious faked video was fake this way:
Look to all the newcomers that can’t seem to grasp the simple fucking concept of ‘political satire’ and got their snowflaked panties all in bunch because it’s ‘not real’, FUCK off.
It’s fun, it’s funny – and if you’re being honest it’s not that far off from really happening.
Which was a mistake. As those same people probably reported him and had his account suspended again, for the umpteenth time.
