Hakeem Jeffries Roasted For Obviously Photoshopped Instagram Post
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is back in the news this week — but he probably wishes he wasn’t.
The New York Democrat on Sunday posted a photo of himself leaning against a park bench in Brooklyn, with the caption: “Home Sweet Home.”
The problem: the photo was obviously edited, as evidenced by the fact that the area around Jeffries’s legs was warped, as was the bench behind him.
His followers quickly commented on how bad the photoshopping job was, speculating on whether he was trying to make himself look slimmer, or taller.
Soon, less friendly X users began wondering the same thing.
Yes, this is real.

Jeffries posted the picture upon his return home from his record-breaking 8-hour and 45-minute speech in the House on Thursday, in which he attempted to delay the vote on the Big Beautiful Bill. The House passed the bill shortly after Jeffries finished speaking, and President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on July 4th.
Jeffries’ social media team seems to be defective when it comes to photoshoots. On Thursday, he posted a photo of him in his office with the caption “Protecting your healthcare is as American as baseball, motherhood, and apple pie.” In the photo, Jeffries is unsmiling, and stiffly holding a baseball bat.
The top comment on the post: “who thought this photo was a good idea?”
