The Absurd GOP

Wrong Flag

A Texas state house candidate posted an artificial intelligence-generated image of himself for his campaign — but it didn't get received quite the way he may have hoped.

Tom Glass of McDade, running for the 17th House District, posted the picture alongside his announcement of a key endorsement, while fully admitting it to be AI-generated.

This image, however, drew swift mockery from political consultant and former Texas House chief of staff Joey Parr, who pointed out some obvious mistakes.

"Nice Chilean flag, @tomgglass," wrote Parr, indicating that the AI had mixed up the flag of Texas with the flag of Chile — both of which are red, white, and blue with a "lone star," but otherwise laid out very differently. "And the wrong capitol." The image showed the U.S. Capitol instead of the Texas Capitol.
