I was going to comment, if you’re going to try and authenticate your existence at least show the date on the newspaper. Fake photo.

Well done you!

Weird way to hold a newspaper and why snap a photo like that unless you want people to know the date? This pic is on his website, but the newspaper is conveniently covered up with a banner that looks really odd. Like someone caught the newspaper thing being upside down.

Yikes. I live nowhere near DC, but I do remember that early this year the @washingtonpost.com announced it was ending its Sports section and sports coverage. The Post's local readers were really, really angry. This game the GOP is playing is creepy as hell.

This doesn't look at all staged.

Proof of life... right?

Even without AI that would be so easy to Photoshop!

His head seems to be moving up and to the left, up and to the left ... sorry, conditioned response 😒
@empresslaq.bsky.social · 10d
A bit on the nose methinks.

And to all the posters circulating the AI fake screenshot, I tried three AI detectors, they all said the pic is likely legit.

You don't need AI. The header on the right column is no-where near the location it is on the paper. This picture is fake.

Look at the paper around his fingers. It looks like it was photoshopped in.
LariceLu · 10d
You can really see the Photoshop/AI around the hands. Check out that creepy pointy misshaped thumb in photo on the right (his left hand) and his finger on the newspaper on the photo on the left (his right hand)… it’s really weird. His left hand (photo on right)… see how it terminates in the sleeve?

Brave choice for a Kentucky politician, holding a picture of a Texas Aggie baseball player.

I mean, how eager to win a headline do you have to be to NOT do the most basic research before announcing something? Great find btw.

I don’t think he’s looked that good in years. Do you think it’s possible WP used an archived photo?
Julie Post · 10d
All I know is that he has not looked that alert and good in years. I’ll only believe this with live verification by someone reputable.

Didn’t the Washington Post layoff its sports department?

That doesn’t mean he’s really holding the paper.

Which gov agencies allow staff to go AWOL for a month? He looks fine and reports having a mild illness. So he has enjoyed a month long vacation, failed to directly contact his boss, and kept getting gov paychecks???

One phone call would put this to rest . Holding up a newspaper as proof of life is really stupid .

What is the date on that?

Perfectly placed in the photo to seem "real" but with enough detail to allow discovery. Definitely seems pushing the "proof of life" angle a bit. Whole thing stinks to high heaven. Did Miller loan Cheung out to McConnell's staff?
Buzz Grambo · 10d
Im betting it's just a wax figure.
MdWTH · 9d
Photoshopped into this is the real pic was taken in 2023...same clothes, same head tilts even his shirt collar is bent in the exact same way....this is a MAJOR COVER UP and an insult to our intelligence

"proof of life" cause they knew we wouldn't believe it.
SueM · 10d
Given the source and their track record, current motivations, it will take more than this photo to convince me. If the truth was this straightforward and the proof was so simple, why hasn't it been presented before now?
pushtoactivate · 10d
Exactly why the newspaper was included. Good sleuthing.
