If you’re going to use a photo to try to tie someone to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and sex offender, don’t use a doctored one. Hmmm @donlemoncnn, reads a recent Instagram post that shows an image of what looks like Epstein posing for the camera with his arm around CNN anchor Don Lemon . You really want us to be sympathetic to pedophiles, huh? I wonder why? The post then lists several hashtags linked to the unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory that politicians and celebrities are involved in a global child-sex trafficking ring. It 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 .) RELATED: What is QAnon, the baseless conspiracy spilling into US politics? Lemon would likely recognize the image was altered because he posted the original from his Instagram account a few weeks earlier. This photo shows another CNN anchor, Chris Cuomo, with his arm around Lemon. Time flies, Lemon wrote. Young & skinny @chriscuomo & yours truly. December 13, 2013. #tbt #bromance #neverforget.

Time has not been kind, nor has what came with it. In part, I have aged from carrying you on my back! :) LOVE YOU, D Lemon. The photo of Lemon and Epstein is fake. We rate that post Pants on Fire.
