Brady Tkachuk decries White House’s AI video of him insulting Canadians after US gold

AI Summary
Following the US men's ice hockey team's Winter Olympics gold medal win against Canada, the White House's TikTok account posted an AI-generated video of player Brady Tkachuk making disparaging remarks about Canadians. Tkachuk has publicly denounced the video, stating it is fake, does not reflect his views, and that he would never say such things, especially as he plays for the Ottawa Senators in Canada. The video has garnered over 10 million views. Tkachuk also denied shouting "Close the northern border" during a congratulatory call from Donald Trump. The call also sparked controversy when Trump seemingly joked about inviting the women's team, who also won gold, to the White House, leading to criticism from women's team captain Hilary Knight.
