Rep. Kat Cammack said the Chinese government has been creating what she described as “digital twins” of U.S. lawmakers, adding a new allegation to ongoing concerns about foreign surveillance and influence. The Florida Republican made the remarks during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.
Cammack’s comments suggest a broader worry about how foreign governments may gather, model, and potentially use information tied to elected officials. While the available excerpt does not provide extensive detail about how these alleged digital replicas are built or used, the claim points to fears over data collection and the security of public officials.
The issue touches on two major areas already under scrutiny in Washington: Chinese government activity and the vulnerability of American political figures in the digital age. Concerns about cyber operations, personal data exposure, and the use of advanced technology against U.S. institutions have remained central topics in national security debates.
Because only a limited portion of the interview is available, many specifics around Cammack’s allegation remain unclear. Even so, her remarks are likely to fuel further discussion about digital profiling, cybersecurity, and the protections in place for members of Congress.
