Congressman defends posting fake Obama photo: 'No one said this wasn't photoshopped'

A Republican congressman who tweeted a picture of former President Barack Obama shaking hands with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani Monday defended it as making a valid point after commenters pointed out that the two had never met in person.

Gosar, a former dentist who now represents Arizona’s rural Fourth District, defended posting the doctored image, writing, “no one said this wasn’t photoshopped.” But his original post did not indicate that it was faked. 1. To the dim witted reporters like @dmedin11: no one said this wasn’t photoshopped. No one said the president of Iran was dead. No one said Obama met with Rouhani in person.

2. The point remains to all but the dimmest: Obama coddled, appeased, nurtured and protected the worlds No. 1 sponsor of terror. The world is better without Obama as president. The world will be better off without Rouhani.

What a joke; he should resign

whyfund Let’s photo shop a pic of Gosar doing some degenerate act. How would that go over? Sending out that fake photo with Obama was disgusting. Behavior unbecoming. Shame on you. Just can’t get pass Obama and his popularity.

So.... you are really that dumb?!

That tweet showed us, once again, that he is an absolute idiot. His 'defense' is simply to try and hide that fact

un-be-lievable

Pathetic

Pos

The congressman purposely didn't bother to say that it was either. This was posted expressly for those that are gullible enough to swallow whatever BS their cult feeds them without question, to keep them fired up.

Nobody said that Rep. Gosar had any credibility. Now they know he has no credibility.

Iran threatened to expose those who took payoffs. The whole Democrat party had to kick in to try to stop Trump. Its corruption. $1.5 billion in untraceable cash. If Kerry, Biden, and Pelosi benefit w Ukraine no telling how much they made off Iran and Americans deaths.
