Joe Biden accused of editing himself into family Easter photo

Joe Biden has been accused of editing himself into a family portrait on Easter Sunday.

The former president shared the image of himself surrounded by his wife, Jill and their family, wishing his 38 million followers a happy Easter.

Social media users said Mr Biden looked out of place wearing a full suit, complete with an American flag pin, while his family were dressed in casual clothing.

The details led users to speculate that the image may have been manipulated, amid concerns over Mr Biden’s declining health.

This looks photoshopped” Brigitte Gabriel, a New York Times best-selling author, said on X.

Others pointed out that the former president’s hand appeared to be “floating” behind one of his grandchildren.

Another user added: “It’s totally photoshopped. Look at his hand, it’s in a low wave position, the hand is not resting on the shoulder of the grandchild, nor are the fingers resting on it. This is fake!”

Other users pointed out other apparent flaws in the picture, focusing in on Mr Biden’s position on the step.

“Fake much like most of his administration. The woman in the yellow shirt you can see her knees,” one user wrote.

“She is sitting on the top step. Same with the guy on the left in the grey sweater with his elbow on his knee. Also top step. No way Joe was in this photo sitting or standing.”

It comes as Democrats brace for a new book set to detail the “cover-up” of Mr Biden’s health decline before the 2024 election.

The book, titled Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, will shine a spotlight on his decision to run for re-election and subsequent drop out.
