Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, collectively known as the #YangGang, called out the New York Times for its inaccurate depiction of the candidate’s height in a recent ad.

Many eagle-eyed supporters noticed that in the New York Times poster, titled “October Democratic Debate: The Biggest Stage Ever,” the 44-year-old entrepreneur appeared slightly shorter in stature compared to his real height, Twitchy reported.

Pete kamala and castro are all shorter than Andrew ,but in this picture the same. they only photoshopped him shorter not the others.. put him next to beto who is taller ,but NOT that much taller 😱

Media sucks🤦🏻‍♀️ — Ida Solberg🧢 (@isa_solberg) October 13, 2019

Others also noticed that fellow Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was stepping on Yang’s foot in the picture, possibly giving him a boost in height.

Well….Look at that. Mayor Pete is stepping on Andrew’s foot in this picture. pic.twitter.com/RheZUePHIL — Amethyst🧢 (@AmethysHP) October 13, 2019

Another user pointed out that while Yang and Julián Castro are portrayed as the same height in the ad, Yang seemed to be much taller in person.

In this pic, Yang and Castro are the same height. In reality: pic.twitter.com/YZUBi3yM8N — Rahoot🧢 (@Rahoot89) October 13, 2019

American Olympian Mark Schultz called out the publication for the “disrespectful” portrayal of Yang.

Perfect example of intentionally creating subliminal influence against our favorite man on the planet.. — Mark Schultz (@MarkSchultzy) October 13, 2019

look at how disrespectful this picture of @AndrewYang is. This is only the beginning of a campaign of disrespect, mocking, lies, & backstabbers. — Mark Schultz (@MarkSchultzy) October 13, 2019

After the backlash, NYT Politics Editor Patrick Healy corrected the heights of Yang as well as the other candidates on the poster.

Here is how the graphic looks now: pic.twitter.com/OP3EqEJagT — Patrick Healy (@patrickhealynyt) October 15, 2019

In his post, he explains: “How a political candidate looks in photographs and on television has always been influential with some voters. We bend over backward with images, assigning terrific photographers, videographers and visual designers to cover politics.”

“The reaction to our visual guide to tonight’s debate among many Andrew Yang supporters, who believed our image made him look a little shorter than he is, reflects the importance of visuals in politics, and we are mindful about that.”

“The graphic will never be exact because of photo perspective and angles, as well as factors like shoes and posture. We have been scrutinizing the graphic and have made adjustments to the appearances of Yang, Sanders, Harris, and Klobuchar, again with the aim of getting it right.”

“We appreciate the feedback on this graphic and all of our work covering the 2020 campaign,” he said.
