A photo shows Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posing and smiling in front of a Trump 2020 sign.
Did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is known to feud with President Donald Trump, really pose - and smile - in front of a Trump 2020 sign? Nope. An altered version of a real photo of Pelosi and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Ca., with the sign added behind the congresswomen, is going around social media. Text near the top of the manipulated photo says, 'This is so funny. Keep it posted on Facebook and other social media. And along the bottom, 'Please, please keep this picture going!!' The image was flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) A reverse-image search led us to the original photo, which doesn't include the sign, and was shared by Waters in a tweet on Feb. 17, 2018: Last week, the @american_heart and Congressional Caucus for Women hosted the annual congressional wear red day photo! pic.twitter.com/AXewJPPU3S- Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) February 17, 2018 Pelosi and Waters were wearing red as part of the American Heart Association's 'Go Red For Women' movement, which aims to increase women's heart health awareness and end heart disease and stroke in women.
