An image of the Highland Park shooting suspect shared by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is noticeably edited. There’s no evidence it actually shows him 'in jail or rehab or a psychiatric center,' as she claimed.
"The public should not allow this to continue," Greene wrote."People are not stupid. Is he in jail or rehab or a psychiatric center in this photo? That’s not his bedroom. 22 yrs old and 5’11 and 120 lbs is not normal or healthy. What drugs or psychiatric drugs or both does he use?""Until we are willing to rip open the ugly truth about the dark and destructive path these young men are on that lead them to mass shootings, then they will continue," she said.
The image is noticeably edited. There’s no evidence that it actually shows Crimo"in jail or rehab or a psychiatric center" prior to his July 4 parade attack, as Greene claimed. "This is an obvious fake," said Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and an expert on image analysis and digital forensics."There are clear signs of manipulation around his head and hair, the resolution on his face is inconsistent with the background, and the lighting and shading on his face is inconsistent with the rest of the scene."
PolitiFact could not pinpoint where the image originated, but we found the same image posted on several since-suspended Twitter accounts that appear to have been affiliated with Crimo or the stage name he adopted as an amateur rapper,"Awake the Rapper.
