Just an FYI... "The FBI forgot to redact this" pic that is circulating is fake. The person posted it as a thumbnail...

for his YouTube video. It is an AI image, presumably (because he has done this in the past).

While I like Keith Edwards, he lately uses AI images as his video thumbnails and this is one of them. I wish he would stop because it's misleading clickbait. If you watch his videos this picture won't be in it anywhere because it's just AI.

A response that I posted on a now deleted thread:


BTW... he is the one responsible for that fake J.D. Vance/Usha pic that went viral (the restaurant argument one).



In December 2025, an image circulated on social media purportedly showing U.S. Vice President JD Vance arguing with his wife, Usha Vance, in a restaurant.

The image appeared to show JD Vance wearing a white T-shirt and a stern expression while sitting across from Usha Vance. One Facebook user who shared it (archived) wrote:

The image circulated elsewhere on Facebook and X (archived here and here). In short, it was fake.

After Snopes initially published its story, YouTuber Keith Edwards reached out to confirm the image was a thumbnail he created for an October 2025 video, describing it as "fake." Edwards told us he used the artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT to create the image.

So basically, this douchebag knows his AI pics are circulating/going viral (people thinking that they are they real deal), but chooses to keep using the slop anyway.
