A video falsely portraying David Hilliard, a founding member of the Black Panthers, as endorsing former President Donald Trump has been widely circulated by right-wing media, leading to public confusion and outrage.
The video, which has been debunked by Hilliard's family, was reportedly manipulated to misrepresent his political stance. Hilliard's grandson has clarified that his grandfather, who is now elderly and suffering from dementia, does not support Trump and was tricked into making statements that do not reflect his true beliefs.
The family has threatened legal action against those spreading the misinformation, prompting the removal of the video from several platforms.
