Conservative Group Wants You to Believe Irans President Endorsed Beto ORourkeGideon Resnick
10.03.18 4:44 AM ET
A neoconservative foreign policy group appeared to try and get audio recorded claiming erroneously that Rep. Beto ORourkes (D-TX) Senate campaign was endorsed by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
The campaign appears to have not made it into production, and maybe never will, as the site where the group posted a call for voice actors took down the solicitation on the grounds that the script was clearly false.
Before it was removed, a screenshot of that postingwhich was made on the website Voicebunny in Augustwas provided to The Daily Beast on an anonymous tip line. According to the posting, the company producing the ad was trying to do a voice dubbing of the Iranian President, so the voiceover needs to sound middle eastern and stern.
...............snip
However, both the anonymous source and certain elements of the request suggest strongly that it could have been made by the group Secure America Now, an organization with financial ties to some major donors in the 2016 presidential election.
