That's a photoshopped picture of Rinehart supposedly with Ghislaine Maxwell.
These are truly evil people.

During Thursdays broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight, fill-in host Brian Kilmeade mentioned the Florida judge who approved the search warrant used by the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago on Monday and who has subsequently faced death threats for doing so. During Kilmeades commentary, however, a fabricated image of two separate photographs appeared on screen depicting the judge on an airplane receiving a foot massage from convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell. During the handoff to Sean Hannitys show, Hannity pointed out that the image was digitally altered. I think thats actually a picture of Jeffrey Epstein with somebody putting [the judges] head on there, he said. As Snopes pointed out, the judges upper body was substituted for Epsteins. The image credit that Fox News listed is a Twitter user whose handle is @whatimemetosay and who describes themselves as a meme creator and digital art creator, making the networks apparent error even less excusable.

(35,977 posts)I was a bit early morning bleary eyed when I saw it, and even with bad eyesight I could see it was the worst bit of photoshopping ever done. Because I was in a rush and needing to get caffeine into me, I quickly responded with a pic of Trump photoshopped onto Rambo holding hands with Epstein and left it at that

(25,983 posts)Looks like Kilmeade is trying to get Judge Reinhart killed. There's no excuse for that kind of irresponsible behavior.

Then he realized he had to pull it together for the sake of the audience.

(14,857 posts)I remember seeing Hannity with Bill Cunningham, anti-liberal radio propagandist, on Fox many years ago. Even Hannity looked shocked by the vitriol coming from Cunningham's mouth. (But later, Hannity's expression gradually changed to admiration, and he was indeed more of a liar and instigator of chaos thereafter.)

(9,966 posts)... Brian is going for the Tucker audience. He actually outdoes Tucker with this little stunt. Maybe he's planning to sell pillows or sleeping pills?
