The congressman hit the Homeland Security secretary with a simple series of questions on the Trump administration's edited photo.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem repeatedly dodged basic questions as Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) pressed her on Wednesday about obvious edits to a photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s tattoos.
“Madam Secretary, I have a 7-year-old, a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old. I have a bullshit detector. I’m just asking you: Is this doctored or not doctored?” asked Swalwell during a Homeland Security committee hearing.
The picture — which President Donald Trump notably flashed in the Oval Office before insisting it was the real deal — shows the characters “M,” “S,” “1” and “3” digitally added to a photo of tattoos on the knuckles of the Maryland man, who was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison.
“Madam Secretary, you agree that the letters ‘MS’ and the number 13 in Times Roman Numeral font, that they are doctored on this photo, right?” asked Swalwell, who emphasized that he wanted to put the matter “to rest” moments earlier.
“Congressman, Abrego Garcia —,” Noem began before Swalwell interjected.
