Black Woman Photoshopped Into Corbett Campaign Photo
[su_right_ad]A photo on every page of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett’s website shows a smiling black woman in the background. But she was never anywhere near Corbett. She was photoshopped in from a stock photo.
Everyone else in the graphic was photoshopped in, too.
The Corbett campaign told BuzzFeed News on Thursday evening, “The whole website footer graphic is a work of Photoshop.”
Asked if everyone else in the photoshopped image were stock photos as well the Corbett campaign told BuzzFeed News, “the graphic has both stock photos and actual photos in it..”
At the bottom of very page is this photo:
Here’s the original photo from Shuttershock:

So – is this the new GOP outreach program for people of color? Include them “in spirit” but not actually include them in reality?

It’s the typical republican “I have a black friend” scenario. Nothing new here as he does everything within his power to stop black Americans from voting.
