Newsnation anchor Chris Cuomo fell for an obviously fake video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calling Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans ad “blatant Nazi propaganda,” the Daily Beast reports.

Said Ocasio-Cortez, in response: “This is a deepfake dude. Please use your critical thinking skills. At this point you’re just reposting Facebook memes and calling it journalism.”
