Republican lawmaker shredded for posting AI images of himself beating up Santa on Christmas morning

A Republican lawmaker raised eyebrows after posting AI-generated images on Christmas Day that depicted him beating up Santa Claus.

Indiana state Sen. Chris Garten’s post on the morning of December 25, where he was pictured body-slamming Santa in front of the state capitol building, did not go down well with his followers on social media.

The comments underneath the post were overwhelmingly disapproving.

“This may be the most pitiful thing I’ve seen this Xmas. Congratulations,” one person reacted on X.

“With everything going on in the world, I struggle to understand why my evidently humorous post is considered news,” Garten told The Independent. “The fake outrage online is a stark reminder of how overly sensitive society has become, and maybe some self-reflection is in order,” he added.

In other words, "I'm not wrong, you are!"

who posts such violent videos is likely violent towards others in his own life. Of all people, why would he choose Santa? Is because Santa represents goodness and love of all people? Something, by the way, many republicans are incapable of doing.

“Lots of intolerance, swearing, and outrage on display over a few AI pics I had a blast designing with my kids,” Garten said. “Some of you clowns are just insufferable. Hopefully your negativity stays in the comments and not directed at your families.”

He designed this with his kids. What a sick f***.

That does give me an idea---

I'd like to create an AI video of ME body-slamming TRUMP, JOHNSON,
and sundry other Republican NAZIs, and it doesn't have to be in front of the capital,

and it doesn't have to be 'body-slamming', it could be something worse....

I must do some research into the creation of AI videos....
