Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has come in for some mocking after posting an image on Wednesday of himself wearing a Knicks hat in which his face appears to be altered.
Jeffries apparently meant to celebrate the fact that the Knicks had made the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years, but instead, he got blasted for the pandering social media post because many Internet users felt that the photo appeared to have been altered in Photoshop to eliminate some of the 55-year-old politician’s wrinkles and changed the shape of his face to make him look younger, the New York Post reported.
National Republican Senatorial Committee aide Sarah Gallagher, for one, ripped Jeffries, saying he “facetuned” himself.
Former White House comms director and GOP consultant Alex Pfeiffer also ridiculed Jeffries over the photo, and wrote, “Hakeem Jeffries looks like a JV baseball coach going through marital troubles.”
