Alex Balazs错误地声称Trump的背书与Trump对对手Rep. Julie Fedorchak的实际支持相矛盾。 Alex Balazs falsely claimed a Trump endorsement in a staged video, contradicting Trump’s actual support for his opponent, Rep. Julie Fedorchak.

2026年2月16日, 美国众议院候选人Alex Balazs张贴了一个舞台式脸书视频, 描述唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的虚构电话, U.S. House candidate Alex Balazs posted a staged Facebook video on February 16, 2026, depicting a fictional phone call with Donald Trump in which he claims to receive an endorsement. 这段视频在他的厨房拍摄，显示着北达科他州的电话号码，画面显示特朗普赞扬巴拉兹，这与巴拉兹此前对现任众议员朱莉·费多查克（Julie Fedorchak）过于与特朗普站在一起的批评相矛盾，指控她与特朗普过于亲密，包括在杰弗里·爱泼斯坦唱片法案上的表现。 The video, filmed in his kitchen with a North Dakota number displayed, portrays Trump praising Balazs, contradicting Balazs’s earlier criticism of incumbent Rep. Julie Fedorchak for aligning too closely with Trump, including on the Jeffrey Epstein records bill. Trump公开支持Fedorchak, 使Balazs的主张虚假。 Trump has publicly endorsed Fedorchak, making Balazs’s claim false. Balazs认为这段影片是总统节的“笑话”, 但批评者警告这种编造的内容可能会传播虚假信息, 尤其是在2024年事件后, Balazs called the video a “joke” for President’s Day, but critics warn such staged content risks spreading disinformation, especially after a 2024 incident involving false texts about Fedorchak. 由于Fedorchak预计将不参加共和党大会, Balazs可能会在默认情况下赢得支持, 引起人们对政治讯息可信度的担忧。 With Fedorchak expected to skip the Republican convention, Balazs may win the endorsement by default, raising concerns about the credibility of political messaging.
