Mike Malloy - Texas Republican Official Posts Fake Photo Of Obama With Che Guevara Shirt



Texas state agriculture commissioner Sid Miller posted a fake photo of President Barack Obama holding up a Che Guevara T-shirt late Tuesday on Facebook, alongside a critique of the President's decision to continue his Latin America trip after deadly terror attacks in Brussels.

The Houston Chronicle flagged Miller's photo on Wednesday. Miller wrote that "Obama is laughing at us" and "doesn't care" about the symbolism of a shirt depicting a Marxist revolutionary like Guevara.

Except, as the Chronicle pointed out, the photo of Obama that Miller posted is not only fake, but is based on a photo taken during a presidential visit to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009. The T-shirt Obama held up in the original photo was printed with equations.
