Drudge Report uses 2012 photo taken in Syria for story about US-Mexico border
[Update 6/18/2018 10:52am PT - Drudge replace this photo for another without explanation]
Look at these Central American kids brandishing handguns on the front page of Drudge Report. Thank goodness Trump and Sessions are caging these menaces to America!
The only thing is, the photo was taken in 2012, the guns are toys, and the photo was taken in Syria. These are inconsequential trivialities for Drudge's lie-loving readers, though.
On his Flickr site, photographer Christiaan Triebert says:
Four young Syrian boys with toy guns are posing in front of my camera during my visit to Azaz, Syria. Most people I met were giving the peace sign. This little city was taken by the Free Syrian Army in the summer of 2012 during the Battle of Azaz.
(Thanks, Gina!)
