Old photos of lawmakers have the potential to cause political embarrassment if they show the person in such a compromising pose as, say, giving a Nazi salute. That’s how some people have interpreted the gesture being made in a supposed leaked photo of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. In the image, it appears as if Greene is wearing a Soviet T-shirt and a pair of underwear outside of her pants. She is also raising one of her arms in a way some people think looks like a Nazi salute but could also be interpreted as a superhero pose, as she’s also wearing a cape. But a reverse image search of the photo shows this picture has been altered. It appears that Greene’s face has been superimposed on the face of the person in the photo. In what looks like the original image, it’s clear that it’s not Greene but rather another person pictured raising her arm. An Instagram post sharing the photo 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 .) We found that this photo has been online since at least 2013, and in photos that appeared on Russian and Turkish websites. This is not a real photo of Greene. We rate the claim Pants on Fire.
