I would like to give the congressman the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t mean to mislead the public with that photo, but the fact is that conservatives have been willingly spreading invented bullshit as gospel truth for years, decades even.
Whenever I bring up with a conservative “the website snopes dot com investigated this and found it was false” I hear “oh but that is a known liberal hoax site!” Well, snopes disproves myths of all kinds, including falshoods spread by the left. The fact that such a great many of the things snopes addresses are conservative memes should be a wakeup call that conservatives are just bigger offenders on that front.
