As images of the12 August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, started to circulate on social media, Twitter detectives went to work attempting to identify those involved. A white supremacist known as @Millenial_Matt on Twitter was one of the first to be accused of attending the march: As this image circulated on Twitter, some people (including Telegraph journalist Raf Sanchez) noticed that @Millenial_Matt's profile picture showed him apparently posing with President Trump. @Millenial_Matt's Twitter account was suspended in the wake of the white supremacist rally that left one woman dead, but an archived version of his page documented the profile pic: The image of @Millenial_Matt with Trump, however, was digitally manipulated to show the two men together. The original image was taken in July 2016 and showed Miles Chilson, a Bernie Sanders supporter, at a Trump rally: Here's a comparison of the two images:@Millenial_Matt took to Twitter to clarify that the image had been doctored, saying, People think the pic of Trump and I is real. It is a photoshop hah. Journalist Raf Sanchez deleted and corrected his original tweet.
