**Viral News Snippet:**
**CLAIM:** Jasmine Crockett has been secretly using a “deepfake” video filter during live House proceedings to avoid showing her real expressions during heated debates.
**VERDICT: FALSE** – The rumor, which exploded on social media after a clip of Crockett appearing uncharacteristically still during a GOP speech went viral, has been thoroughly debunked. Fact-checkers traced the source to a satirical account that manipulated a freeze-frame from C-SPAN. Digital forensics experts reviewed the full, unedited footage and confirmed there are no artifacts or lag consistent with real-time filter use. Crockett’s office released a statement calling the claim “a baseless attempt to undermine a Black woman’s credibility in Congress.” The original video was simply a low-bandwidth stream that caused a brief frame stutter.
