'Is this a hostage video?' Internet loses it over 'horrifying' video from Trump diplomat
A Trump diplomat left the internet absolutely creeped out with a video she posted that seems to be digitally touched up.
Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein Callista Gingrich, who is the wife of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, posted a video from her office's official account on Thursday announcing an upcoming summit. Social media users were quickly freaked out by how alien her face appeared, as she seems to have edited it with Facetune or a similar AI-based tool.
"Why does this woman INSIST on having her face airbrushed to infinity in every photo and video?" X user @krismacgregor wrote, noting that Gingrich frequently edits her videos this way. "Horrifying."
"I need to go to Bern more often so I can run into her and find out if she looks more normal in person," investigative journalist and hacker Maia Arson Crimew posted.
"People are gonna see you in real life after watching this video and freak the [expletive] out," right-wing outcast Milo Yiannopoulos agreed.
Whatever editing tool Gingrich used left her looking like she was speaking from inside a computer game or virtual reality. While Gingrich talks in the video, only her head moves while her body from the neck down seems perfectly still.
Several X users compared her appearance to a "Fortnite skin," referring to the popular video game, and account @beetkid wrote, "Damn, Pixar." The account @NaweSnape said she looks "the final boss of the Karens."
Others expressed confusion and fear.
"This is one of the scariest things I've ever seen," X user @lilblackboxx commented.
"Is this a hostage video?" activist Josh Dorner asked.
"I can’t believe this is real / was approved," X user @esgree said.
