No, this photo doesn’t show Hillary Clinton posing with an anti-Donald Trump T-shirt

Social media users are claiming former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is commenting on the 2024 election by promoting merchandise opposing former President Donald Trump, who defeated her in the 2016 race.

An April 24 Facebook post showed a photo of Clinton smiling and holding a black T-shirt that said, "NOPE Not again." The "O" in "nope" was stylized with a blond swoop of hair and a red necktie caricature of Trump’s likeness.

The post’s caption linked to a website selling the shirt.

Four Florida counties had “zero results” Oct. 26, and “something underhanded might be happening.”

It’s clear Clinton, who ran against Trump for president in 2016, is supporting President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. She’s participated in fundraisers to support Biden’s campaign and has criticized Trump for years. But this photo was altered.

A reverse-image search using Google Images and TinEye revealed the original photo came from Clinton’s X account. In 2017, she shared a photo of herself holding a black T-shirt that said "nasty woman," referring to what Trump called Clinton during a 2016 presidential debate.

This is not the first time images of well-known people have been edited to appear as if they are posing with this "NOPE Not again" T-shirt. PolitiFact and other news outlets have fact-checked similar fake images of former President Barack Obama, former first lady Michelle Obama, pop singer Taylor Swift and actor Tom Hanks.
