It was the first time Joan Herbert had made her political views so public. She was nervous but said she was pleased the finished campaign advertisement got her pro-Trump message across so clearly.
Sitting in a darkened bedroom, the Pennsylvania mother of four delivered her message without speaking, flipping through a series of cue cards.
“I’m afraid to say this out loud,” reads one. “I won’t risk my children’s future with Biden.”
But as the Trump campaign ad circulated last month, the congratulatory phone calls from friends quickly turned to confused inquiries about whether she supported President Trump or Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
“Some people called and asked, 'Which is the real one? Are you really a Biden supporter or a Trump supporter,'” she said.
Within hours of her video hitting social media, it had been picked up by Republican Voters Against Trump and edited to replace her cue cards with words attacking the president and his record.
“I voted for Trump in 2016,” one reads. “It was the biggest mistake of my life.”
The altered video remains available on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube despite Herbert’s efforts to have it removed. Its makers insist it is clearly a parody and, therefore, not designed to mislead.

p
disgusting, gutter level dirty tricks imho...
It’s only a matter of time until they remove the real pro-Trump video and leave the fake pro-Biden one up. You watch.
Would it be satire or parody if someone DNS’d Republican Voters Against Trump? Asking for a friend.
There motives are obvious(kowtowing to China) but supposed conservatives continue to support them. Shame on every one of you.
every freeper set an infinate ping to their URL? would that do it??
Get Lin Wood and company to sue for defamation.
Oh yes. Liars and frauds. This is my shocked face.
THAT side is entirely liars and frauds and cheats. That is all they do. I stopped listening.
Since I don't know this woman or her views how am I supposed to know it is parody. I would have taken it as her expressed views except that she pointed out that the lying liars are lying again, and I assume that the whole point was to mislead me by lying about what she said.
Like I said, if I were on a jury I would find this malicious and clean out the bank accounts and other assets of every person involved.

It is NOT parody if it appears the person really said this and it was not a widely distributed work.
She can and should sue.
As a private citizen, Herbert has the ultimate right to control her image. She can sue on that right. She should.
What's described is not a parody.
NOT A PARODY. If they had a different woman doing the same video with different cards, THAT would be a parody.
This is using a person’s name and image without permission, and is a felony.
