Who?

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)

Ask a Pol asks:

“Do you think we’ll see any Senate action on deepfakes ahead of the election now we’re in the midst?”

Key Kaine: 

“Pretty nervous about this,” Kaine told Ask a Pol. “Because of Biden robocall, the fake Biden robocall. I haven’t heard discussion of Senate action about it. But I think all of us paid a lot of attention to that, and we have members who’ve been warning about it for a while.”

TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Tim Kaine

Matt Laslo: “Do you think we’ll see any Senate action on deepfakes ahead of the election now we’re in the midst?”

Tim Kaine: “Pretty nervous about this…”

ML: “Right?”

TK: “…this Biden robocall, the fake Biden robocall. I haven’t heard discussion of Senate action about it, but I think all of us paid a lot of attention to that. And we have members who’ve been warning about it for a while.”

ML: “Yeah, but now we’re in the midst of the election, makes it harder, right?”

TK: “Well, I mean, it can affect either side, but I’ve just not heard of legislative action.”

ML: “Yeah. Preciate ya.”
