Photo Shows Hillary Clinton’s Incontinence-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
A photo of Bill and Hillary Clinton boarding a plane supposedly proves that she is incontinent.
The Truth:
Photo editing software was used to make it appear that Hillary Clinton had a bathroom mishap in this photo.
The altered version of the photo began making the rounds on social media and in discussion boards in May 2016, and it had gained momentum by the time Hillary clinched the Democratic presidential nomination.
One explanation that appeared with the photo seems to “dance around” the issue by implying that it was an “unfortunate bodily function”:
This photo appears to show Hillary Clinton, wife of former President Bill Clinton, in a slightly soiled dress as she boards Air Force One. Although it is difficult to determine what the curious spot on her dress is, it is in a location that would indicate either a stain or an unfortunate bodily function has occurred. The photo cannot be verified for the date it was taken, nor the location, but from the rear it appears she is most definitely with her husband Bill.
However, the photo was taken by Getty Images photographer Luke Frazza on January 26, 1995 — and there is no suspicious spot on the back of the first lady’s dress in the actual photo, which can be viewed here.
