"Lincoln, California City Councilwoman Holly Andreatta told a group of high school conservatives that childhood trauma turned her daughter into a lesbian. When video of her comments - began circulating online, Andreatta first said video of her talk had been deceptively edited and then apologized for her comment, claiming she doesn't actually believe what she said in the video."
""My oldest daughter had a lot of trauma as a child," Andreatta said at the first meeting of Twelve Bridges High School's new 'Club America,' a chapter of Turning Point USA, an organization that encourages its members to harass progressive educators. "Something really terrible happened to her when she was young that I would hope would never happen to any other child. And as a result of it, she's a lesbian. She's gay. She's married to a woman.""
"As videos of Andreatta's comments spread online, Andreatta wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post, that videos of her comments had been altered by artificial intelligence. She wrote, "I am the same person I have always been, kind, principled, inclusive and committed to respectful dialogue. A manipulated video does not change the truth.""
