Is lying the only thing liberals can do to get their point across? With a tragedy as massive as Hurricane Harvey, you just knew they were going to exploit it with phony claims.
And sure enough, on Monday a post by liberal Twitter user Aiden Benjamin regarding the hurricane went viral.
The only problem? What Benjamin posted was TOTALLY FALSE.
You see, he uploaded a photo of the Obama family serving food to others with the caption: “something you’ll never see trump do: Obama is in Texas serving meals!”
The implication was clear. While Trump was doing little to help the hurricane victims, there was Obama, selflessly serving food to the victims!
Only, he wasn’t.

Sure, the photo is real. But it’s of the Obamas serving Thanksgiving dinner to guests in 2015.
It has NOTHING to do with Hurricane Harvey. I mean, did Aiden Benjamin even bother to consider that the woman in the photo is wearing a heavy sweater, something no one in their right mind would wear in Texas during the month of August?!

The photo was called out by a number of people, eventually forcing Benjamin to remove the post and apologize.
I took down the tweet of obama, I apologize to people who thought it was real. also to @callrail I apologize!

Sadly, that was AFTER 15,000 liberals who don’t let facts get in the way of a good fake news story LIKED the post, and another 8,000 retweeted it.

So, while it’s no longer on Aiden Benjamin’s Twitter feed, this bit of fake news is out there, spreading like wildfire.
Expect to get a notification about Obama’s altruism from your liberal friends any moment now.
