Top MAGA influencer revealed to be AI — created by a guy in India who made a mint off lonely men online
NY Post ^ | 4/21/26 | Zoe Hussain

Posted on 04/22/2026 4:04:22 AM PDT by Callahan

A comely MAGA influencer who racked up millions of fans on Instagram who posted patriotic content and often posed in a bikini while ice fishing, drinking Coors Light, and shooting guns has been unmasked — as an Indian man who put himself through med school on the proceeds.

Sam,” a 22-year-old orthopedic surgeon in training, told WIRED that he got the idea to sell AI-generated images of a young woman in a bikini while scrounging for money in school — and trying to save up enough to emigrate to the US after graduation.

… Sam told the magazine, “Every day I’d write something pro-Christian, pro-Second Amendment, pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-woke, and anti-immigration.”

The account “blew up,” and Emily Hart had 10,000 followers within a month.

Every reel he posted garnered millions of views and earned him more followers.

… He then cashed in on the AI model’s appeal — selling MAGA-themed T-shirts and creating an account on the OnlyFans competitor Fanvue, where paid subscribers could access lewd AI-generated content.

The move made him a mint - Sam was soon raking in thousands of dollars a month.

… Despite MAGA fans making him rich, he still looks down on them, calling them “super dumb.”

He said he also attempted to make a liberal counterpart for Hart on Instagram, but “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much,” he said.

“The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it,” Sam said.

He should not be allowed to emigrate. He probably is AI too.

If he made a pretty girl, it probably didn't appeal to them. He should have made a fat chick with blue hair, tattoos and a nose ring.

Maybe he did, but found the image was not appealing to Leftists. He seems pretty dedicated as a leftist.

He did solve the basic problem of how to cash in as an influencer when you don’t really look like that.

If English isn’t the spoken word of your youth, a foreigner trying to pass as American can’t do it. There are little tell tale signs.

FReepers are constantly complaining about the bias and fake reporting by Main Stream Media.

Just wait until AI becomes the source of all news.

We do not want scammers with bad character like this guy. Bar him from ever coming to the US.

How did he earn money from this? Did he sell the photos? Did people pay for access to a website? Ad revenue?

From the article: The account “blew up,” and Emily Hart had 10,000 followers within a month.

Bank on it that most of those followers were "bot" accounts - fakes used to increase his follower count.

He had a product that was in demand and he got paid handsomely for providing it. He took that money and used it to better himself, but if you called him a capitalist he’d probably deny it until he was... what color would an Indian dude turn if he held his breath?

A crooked con-artist who hates MAGA?

I would not want this guy as MY doctor.
Hope he stays in India.
