Trump Campaign Tweets Fake Photo of Rally

September 10, 2016
Deadspin: “The Trump campaign is responding to Hillary Clinton’s characterizing a large segment of his supporters as white supremacists by sending out a photo from a 2015 Trump rally in Dallas and claiming it was his appearance last night in Pensacola, Fla.”

“The photo, taken at a September 14, 2015 rally in Dallas, has been carefully cropped to cut out the ‘American Airlines Center’ logo and the retired Dallas Stars jerseys hanging in the rafters.”



Here is the Actual photo of Pensacola:

Wonder if future and even past photo 's should be double checked . When looking at older pictures I have wondered if Rally pictures have been doctored . Thought a few times I saw a repeat , but then again I am no expert by any means

His campaign is built on nothing but fraud and lies. Hopefully it all comes crashing down in November.
