Libs circulating doctored photo of Rep. Elise Stefanik giving the finger after Marie Yovanovitch's testimony

You can tell that Rep. Elise Stefanik hit a nerve during the impeachment hearings Friday, as George Conway and a bunch of follows are posting their donations to her opponent’s campaign and celebrating already that she won’t be reelected. Don’t be too sure though; they tried to shut her down Friday, but she persisted.

You know they’re desperate when they’re passing around a Photoshop of Stefanik giving the finger as former ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was receiving a standing ovation from the Democrats.

giving America the finger. Classy.

Sullen pout on #Stefanik's face. #NewYorkers, you can obviously do better.

Brian J. O’Malley deleted his “childish loser” post while we were writing this post, but here’s a screenshot:

No, she didn’t “pose” for that photo and a quick scan of the video from which the still was captured proves it’s faked.

This is photoshopped. Here’s full video. pic.twitter.com/kF2oedu82F

There is a really good chance this is photoshop.

I'll check other angles, but as someone who uses Photoshop daily, I doubt it.

This looks photoshopped to me. The light is not falling on her the way it would have done in the room, and you can see some pixel irregularities in her outline. Would not spread this if I were you, as you could be spreading misinformation. Cc @gtconway3d

That you can’t tell that this is fake speaks ill of you.

Isn’t Twitter supposed to be doing something about fake news, or was that just Facebook? Can we get a fact-check on this ASAP?

Here is original image of Stefanik that was doctored.
I’m deleting the doctored one now that the verification request was answered.
Her facial expression is real, the finger you will see in fake is not.
Memes can be fun, but they can also be weaponized.

So they’re going after Stefanik because of her pout and because she gave Yovanovitch the finger (which she didn’t do). They’ve got as much on her as they do President Trump.

Update:

It looks like George Conway too just couldn’t retweet that fake image fast enough:

George Conway @gtconway3d deleted these tweets in which he shared a fake photo of @EliseStefanik giving the middle finger at the hearing yesterday.
