\"\"<\/div>\n

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., inspired a wave of mockery and confusion with an AI-generated dance video.<\/p>\n

The clip features Blackburn, flanked by Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., state Sen. Brent Taylor and Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs, dancing to Kendrick Lamar\u2019s 2024 diss track \u201cNot Like Us.\u201d The strange video got a lot of attention, but probably not the kind that the gubernatorial hopeful was looking for.<\/p>\n

Jerri Green, Blackburn\u2019s opponent in her gubernatorial race, was quick to pounce:<\/p>\n

When I say please stop using AI to support our campaign, this is what I mean\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I say please stop using AI to support our campaign, this is what I mean\u2026\u201d she wrote, clearly not impressed by the video.<\/p>\n

Other X users had a lot to say as well, with some suggesting that Lamar sue over the use of his song:<\/p>\n

Ma\u2019am, what are we doing here? Ppl in Tennessee are hurting, we\u2019re drowning in this awful economy and you\u2019re just putting out AI slop.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t even like Black Americans yet had the nerve to do this!<\/p>\n

Yeah, I\u2019m going to need @kendricklamar<\/a> to get that cease-and-desist paperwork together asap.<\/p>\n

Want our style and flow but hate us; bitch is the poster child for American hypocrisy!<\/p>\n

@kendricklamar<\/a> sue her! This is cringe! Especially with what all she did to suppress the black voters in TN9! She messed with my home!<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how many years we\u2019ve listened to Republicans, including those in office, attacked the Democrats for singing and doing stupid dances!
\nI really wish you hadn\u2019t done that.
\nI am embarrassed for you. I\u2019m embarrassed for republicans like myself who are expected to go\u2026<\/p>\n

Ultimate cringe. I am ashamed to say I am from Tennessee and know these idiots well. There is not one rhythmic bone between them. Only AI can make a Republican move this way.<\/p>\n
