A church in Texas played an AI audio clip of Charlie Kirk saying words he never said to a congregation who gave it a standing ovation.

On Sunday (14 September), pastor Jack Graham was delivering a service at Prestonwood Baptist Church when he paused to play an AI-generated clip using the voice of the 31-year-old, who was killed on 10 September.

The audio using Kirk’s likeness reassured the churchgoers that he was “fine”, and said: “Do not let this violence divide us further. The enemy wants chaos, fear, and retaliation. Don't give it to them.”

He told the crowd that “America and free speech are worth it”, encouraging them to “get back in the fight”. The minute-long clip received a standing ovation from the church.

It's a nice sentiment, yes. But KIRK NEVER SAID THAT.

He DID call for the assassination of Joe Biden, though.

1. We really need FREEDOM FROM RELIGION here in the US.

2. The pastor knew the "flock" would believe every word.

So easy to manipulate.

3. Looks like a mega church located in plano, tx.

Which probably means prosperity gospel nuts.
It would be funny in a karmic kinda way if a freak thunderstorm caused the "church" to burn to the ground as punishment for the pastor lying to his flock.

4. I know he called for the death penalty for Joe

Was there something else I don’t know about?
