Latest RWNJ conspiract theory - Fetterman using a body double





The photo of the supposedly "fake" Fetterman being taken last year raises questions about the timeline of the conspiracy. The conspiracy theorists do not appear to be claiming that anything is awry with photos of Fetterman taken before or after May 22, 2022.

For the theory to be true, the supposed "replacement" Fetterman would have briefly appeared in May of last year, only to be replaced by the actual Fetterman after the photo was taken. It is unclear what purpose that would serve.

It's narrower, not proportional, like the one on the left.

There are NOT two John Fettermans! No way.

I see the Fetteman hash tag added on Tornado and NCAA related tweets. I hate trolls.

I am also laughing, because it would be really hard to find a 6'8" guy who bears enough resemblance to pass, and would want to.

i checked the google, and yeah, his wife is in the pic, and her face is stretched, too.
in the short vid from that day, he looks perfectly john-ish.
on 1 of the twitter threads, someone posted a bunch of faces taken w diff focal length lenses, and yeah, it’s surprising.

you'd be surprised how much a smile can do to a person's face.

Also - look at the ears. They are the same in both pictures.

Even if they found a someone who looks nearly like Fetterman, think of ALL the people close to Fetterman who would either have to be fooled or willing to say silent. It is said that the ability to keep a secret goes down as the number of people knowing the truth goes up. There is no way for something like this to happen.
