Twitter Mocks Fox News For Cropping Donald Trump Out Of Epstein Photo — But Not Melania

Fox News was widely mocked on Sunday after it was caught cropping President Donald Trump out of a photo in which he appeared with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During an afternoon segment covering the allegations against Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite and heiress who became a confidante of Epstein’s and was later implicated in his alleged sexual crimes, the network repeatedly showed B-roll of the edited photo which originally included Trump alongside Epstein, reports RawStory.

Melania Trump, who also appears in the photo standing next to Epstein, was not cropped out of the photo by the network.

Twitter users were quick to call out the network for using the edited photo.

Holy shit @FoxNews just aired this photo of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and conveniently edited out @realDonaldTrump because, in case you don't recognize her, that's @FLOTUS on the left. What. The. Actual. Fuck??? pic.twitter.com/bgVJA8fkO5

This is some soviet-level revisionism because there is blank space on the screen where Donald could have easily fit.
