Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, used his Twitter account on October 9, 2025, to share a series of posts addressing public discussion and concerns over misinformation.

In his first tweet, Hudson announced an upcoming event: "We're picking up where Charlie left off, open discussion with those who disagree. This Saturday 10/11 9:30-11a. St. Michael Cinema." (posted October 9, 2025). The message invites community members to a forum at St. Michael Cinema, encouraging dialogue among people with differing viewpoints.

Shortly after, Hudson posted a brief statement: "The truth just got its pants on." (posted October 9, 2025).

Later the same day, Hudson addressed the issue of misinformation and artificial intelligence in another tweet: "It's already happening. You're seeing fake AI images used to defame law enforcement, particularly ICE, and run propaganda for Hamas." (posted October 9, 2025). His comments reflect ongoing public concern about the use of AI-generated images in spreading false information about government agencies and international conflicts.

Artificial intelligence-generated content has increasingly been identified as a tool for spreading disinformation online. In recent years, law enforcement agencies and experts have raised alarms about deepfakes and manipulated images targeting both individuals and institutions. These concerns are particularly acute in contexts involving national security or contentious political issues.
