Senator John McCain seen photographed wearing an anti-President Donald Trump t-shirt is fake news. There is no truth to a report that McCain wore an offensive t-shirt at the expense of Trump while being photographed alongside Senator Lindsey Graham. Rather, it was a digitally altered image.
Where did the fake news originate? Freedom Junkshun published the fake news article reporting that McCain was seen in a photo protesting Trump alongside Graham. You can read the fake news below.
John McCain has taken his attacks on Donald Trump way too far! McCain was captured in a photo wearing a horrible profanity-laced anti-Trump t-shirt on Saturday, which was posted to social media by a supporter of his.
McCain posed in the photo with Senator Lindsey Graham, another Trump hater. He can be seen wearing a “Donald Trump is not my President” t-shirt featuring a gigantic middle finger and the words “F*** Trump” underneath it. Graham, sporting a huge smile, is wearing a red shirt.
John McCain has been attacking President Trump in the media ever since before he was elected, giving a “middle finger” to Americans who support the Republican Party, Donald Trump, and our nation.
However, there is no truth to the above story. The above fake news article was based upon an image that was altered featuring McCain and Graham. You can see the fake image below.
However, the above image was altered from a photograph shared by McCain on Instagram with him, Graham and retired Senator Joe Lieberman having a casual hang-out session. Dubbed the ”three amigos” for their similar political views and their frequent shared trips, the trio officially became a duo when Lieberman — a Connecticut Democrat —retired from the Senate in 2012.
Dressed in outdoor wear, the three friends sported baseball caps and T-shirts for the snap. “The three amigos together again!,” wrote McCain.
Here are some examples of people sharing the fake news on social media.
