A fictional headline proclaimed, "BORDER IS CLOSED — 15 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS DEPORTED," while another exclaimed "MAGA!!"
When zoomed in on the article, the following text is visible: "Industrial strength significantly increased... driven by the creation of a unified Reich."
What did Sen Tuberville say about the purported Trump campaign video championing a ‘unified Reich’?
Senator Tommy Tuberville, who was present at Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial last week, suggested that the entire thing was fake news, per RawStory.
"Oh, come on, that came from some PAC or something," the Alabama lawmaker said about the video.

According to Reuters, the controversial video appeared on Monday on Donald Trump's exclusive social media platform, Truth Social, as indicated by screenshots. It was subsequently taken down the following day "after backlash."
The statement released by the former President’s campaign claimed that the video was "not created by the campaign" and that it was "reposted by a staffer that did not see the word."

"I just heard someone used it as a statement," Tuberville remarked, adding. "Do you think that came out of the Republican Party? No. No."
When informed that the purported video was a major story at the beginning of the week, Tuberville replied, "Oh, I mean, come on, they’re just lookin' for something to talk about."

When pressed on the controversial clip, other Republicans like Senators Ted Cruz (Texas) and John Cornyn (Texas) chose not to respond.
Sen Mitt Romney seemed so taken aback by the concept of the video that he claimed he had to make sure it was authentic before he could make a statement.
"But if it's true," Romney added, "it's just another reason not to vote for Trump."
