Daily News | No, John Fetterman doesn’t have a body double
Over the weekend, new baseless gossip that the Pennsylvania Democrat has been replaced with a lookalike began circulating on social media. He hasn’t. The rumor’s origins are unclear, but QAnon supporters and dozens of conservative commentators boosted the claims, earning the theory millions of views on Twitter.
The conspiracy theories stem from a side-by-side comparison of two photos of Fetterman that were taken nine months apart. In a tweet seen over 10 million times, the popular right-wing troll account, Catturd — reportedly a “VIP” accounts that gets boosted visibility on the platform — erroneously wrote that, “In only 3 weeks, John Fetterman got a total head replacement.” While the tweet suggested the photos couldn’t possibly be of the same person, they were both Fetterman. One is a headshot
Fetterman shared on Twitter. The other was taken in May 2022 as he was leaving Lancaster Hospital after having a stroke.
