When it comes to political images, seeing shouldn’t always be believing. Case in point is an image recently tweeted by Georgia Gov.

The campaign of Dr. Mehmet Oz and a super PAC supporting him are running ads that seek to paint his chief rival in the Pennsylvania Senate Republican primary, Dave McCormick, as a “friend” of China who outsourced Pittsburgh jobs and is out of step with former President Donald Trump. But the ads distort some facts to make that case.
The president stretched the facts on gas prices, jobs, tax cuts and more.
