It seems conservatives still have Cleveland on the brain.
Breitbart News posted a photo Wednesday alongside an article headlined “Trump’s Jacksonville Rally Draws 15,000” that actually showed a crowd during a celebratory parade for the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA finals this year.
Washington Examiner reporter T. Becket Adams pointed out on Twitter that the photo was a cropped version of one published by CNN following the Cavaliers’ victory parade in June:
LOL. Okay, guys.

Breitbart has since switched the photo out of the article for one of Trump walking onto the stage at the Florida rally and appended this clarification: “UPDATE: A photograph that was incorrectly attributed on social media to the rally in Jacksonville has been removed.”
When you’ve seen one crowd photo, you’ve seen them all. Cleveland, Nuremberg, Miami, what difference does it make?
Breitbart: It’s sad that our freedom of speech means nothing under a totalitarian regime.
This crowd was waiting outside a KFC hoping for a Trump autograph or a glimpse of his hair.
Oh, the tales that we weave, when our intent is to deceive…
The new Drumpf campaign motto.
The first clue to it’s fakiness is going to be a whole lot of black faces once you’ve zeroed in on the crowd. Like anybody’s going to believe that.
