Jeb! photoshopped onto black man's body in GOP SuperPac mailer? Very likely.

[Statistikhengst]

File under: this is inexplicably weird. I doubt that Jeb! himself had anything to do with this, but this really IS weird.


There's Something Awkward About This Jeb Bush Mailer

At issue is this tweet, showing the mailer that went out:

See the left hand? It is black. See the shading on the underside of the right hand? It indicates a black hand.

Here is an enlarged view:

Back to the first link:

The group also tweeted the photo as a teaser for the mailer. Take a close look at Bush in the second photo of their tweet and you'll see that his left hand appears several shades darker than the rest of his skin.

Liberal news blog ThinkProgress accused the group of superimposing the GOP nominee's head onto the body of a black man, while TIME pointed out the background in the picture is actually a stock photo of Cedar Rapids.

"Time" has also noticed this:

Jeb Bush's Super PAC Has a Bad Photoshop Moment

Jeb Bush has fallen victim to what appears to be the first Photoshop fail of the 2016 campaign.

A super PAC supporting the former Florida Governor’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination released its first mailer to Iowa voters this week.

Right to Rise USA tweeted a picture of the inaugural mailing, which appears to show Bush posing in front of a bridge in what appears to be Cedar Rapids, the second largest city in Iowa.

But a closer look at the photo seems to show that Bush was actually superimposed on a a stock image of the city, while his left hand appears to belong to someone else.

Again, to note: Jeb! had nothing to do with this. A SUPERPAC that raises money for him did, and since they are by law not allowed to ask for campaign photos or the link, they probably decided to take some stock photos and do some photoshopping. I'm cool with most of that, but at the best it is shoddy attention to detail (who could possibly miss the left hand?) and at worst it is intentional pandering to minorities on a subliminal level.

Either way, it is very, very weird.

I would say this is the first photoshop-fail of 2016.

or it could be a shadow.

naw, that makes sense, so lets go with photoshop

Maybe it's just a case of the the left hand, not knowing what the right is doing...? I mean we do hear that in politics quite often.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Yeah......that's clearly a shadow.

Weeeeeeeee!

 

[konradv]

Besides that obvious mistake, doesn't the head look a little small for the body?

naw, that makes sense, so lets go with photoshop

But the shadow isn't on the pants and there is nothing to cast a shadow either.

That was just a bizarre photoshop done by someone who was clueless.

And why could they not use real Jeb Bush hands?

someone was using them as a cheer competition to really land the jazz hands part

Anyone who says illegals invade because of love and agreed with W over Iraq, even after knowing what we know today....and loves common core...just might be a psycho...or just plain dumb.

Yes. Common photo mishaps: red eye and black hands.

You might be a genius.

I'd love for you to describe common core accurately in your own words. I wonder if you even know what it is.

you'd think they wouldn't have photoshoped his pot belly onto the guy.

I'd love for you to describe the wonders of big centralized government in your own words. I wonder if you even know what it is.

You are against common core........just because. Way to go, genius.

Too? You mean like Trump? Thought that was one of the prerequisites for the nomination.

How does a "shitty photo" change the veins on the back of his right hand?

Compared to how it looked on 2/27/2015 at CPAC?

Jeb Bush heads to Dallas and Houston for fund-raising; Sessions, Hutchison and others are pitching in

And here is another image from the same event.

CPAC: Jeb Bush says U.S. needs to give undocumented immigrants path to legal status
