In September 2016, as election-related misinformation reached a fever pitch, a graphic appeared featuring a photograph of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton alongside a quote — purportedly from a 1995 interview with Seventeen magazine — that she would be disappointed if her daughter Chelsea married a black man: However, we found no evidence of Clinton making this remark, or even giving an interview to Seventeen at all in 1995. Clinton was First Lady at the time, and if she had made such a remark it would have been covered by various media outlets. It would also have been out of character at the time for Seventeen, a publication largely devoted to celebrities, fashion, and dating, to publish an interview with the First Lady. A spokesperson for Seventeen confirmed to us in an email that no such interview occurred: Hoax quotes are commonplace on the Internet, and many are circulated with phony citations and photographs in an attempt to make them appear credible — particularly during an election year.
