Fox News host Brian Kilmeade called out for showing photoshopped image of judge in Mar-a-Lago raid
On Thursday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, guest host Brian Kilmeade showed a clearly photoshopped image of U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed off on the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort that took place on Monday. The manipulated graphic took a 2017 post from Reinhart while he was waiting out a hurricane hoping to watch the New York Giants, and grafted that over an image of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein getting his foot rubbed by his now-imprisoned cohort Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Also, a picture of Bruce Reinhart,” Kilmeade said while bringing up the image. “This is the judge in charge of the... of the uh… of the, um… as you know, of the warrant, and we’ll see if he’s going to release it next. He likes Oreos and whisky.”
This isn’t the first time Fox News has been caught trying to pass off fake images as real. The network did the same thing in June 2020 during the George Floyd protests when it showed a fiery image of Minneapolis and claimed it was Seattle.
