The Daily Mail reports:

Republican lawmakers and right leaning media figures fell for a cropped selfie that appeared to show the head of USA Fencing flipping his middle finger before appearing before a hearing on men competing in women’s sports.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee printed out a version of his cropped Instagram image where it looked like he was flipping off the camera and blew it up on a poster at the hearing.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.),posted an image of the poster at Wednesday’s hearing. “Caught in 4k,” she wrote with a screen grab of the cropped version of Lehfeldt’s image on a stand behind Government Reform Subcommittee Chairwoman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).

As you’ll see in Jimmy Kimmel’s hilarious recounting the incident, Greene furiously banged her gavel over and over in a failed attempt to silence a Democrat who called out the doctored image. Wait for the final moment of the exchange for a chef’s kiss move by Rep. Melania Stansbury. The clip is cued up.
