Portland Syphilis Hillary Clinton.png

Look at the picture on the left. Look at the picture on the right. Guess which one's fake. (Hint: It's the one on the left.)

There's an image making the rounds out there alleging that Hillary Clinton's campaign inadvertently published a poster featuring a model who was also in an Oregon Health Authority PSA for syphilis prevention.

That claim is not true.

If it were, it's not unbelievable. After all, remember when Jeb Bush used stock footage from other countries in an ad proffering his all-American policies against Donald Trump's? It's easy enough for campaigns to unwittingly use stock models and footage that court controversy, but so far there's only been one legitimate case of the "man enough for Hillary" hashtag used without irony.

Here's the fake with that syphilis PSA, side by side.

The Clinton campaign told Jezebel that the purported ad, featuring a man with an impressively bushy beard and tatted-up left arm isn't its official material.

The syphilis PSA was part of a campaign launched by the Oregon Health Authority last year after Portland ranked fifth nationwide for number of cases per capita.
