Thread:

1. 3 weeks ago, Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiated the wedding of her "family friends" Barbara Solish & Danny Kazin. The bride & groom claim to have tested negative for #Covid19, but in the pic, you can see that no masks were worn--a detail pointed out by many in the media.

2. Solish is the former Dep. Campaign Mgr for Gov. of Nevada Steve Sisolak. Previously, she was the press sec. for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee & the Communications Director for the US House of Representatives. She's locked her account.

3. Here is the original photo of Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiating the wedding that Solish tweeted.

Other than the previously mentioned "no masks," it looks fine enough, right?

4. I ran the photo through http://www.fotoforensics.com  & found that the Ruth Bader Ginsburg portion of the photo has been altered.

See for yourself.

5. Not wanting to be duped, in case Caleb's post had been altered, I found a 2nd source for the photo, The New York Post. Google still had the original tweet's image cached from the article that had linked Solish's tweet.

6. The photo cached on Google from Solish's tweet shows the same result: image altered.

7. I even ran the screenshot of the Solish tweet from tweet #1 above. Even though it's of lower resolution having been a screenshot, it still clearly shows the same manipulation.

8. Discussion:

1. I've not been able to find ANY other pics of the wedding. Are there any? It's EXTREMELY unusual to have only 1 wedding pic.
2. Why has the image been manipulated?
3. Is it just standard wedding photography touch-up?
4. Is it totally fake?
5. If it's fake, why?

9. Here's an article about a wedding RBG did a year ago. Here she officiated for a family member. Has a photo w/same outfit & hair, etc. Could be nothing. OTOH,

Any enterprising individuals out there wanna try & find more photos from this wedding? https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/columnists/story/2019-09-09/column-supreme-courts-ruth-bader-ginsburg-officiates-at-la-jolla-music-executives-wedding

10. I found the original tweet on the Wayback Machine:
