Connecticut Republican Party Posts Fake Obama Photo To Warn He'll Ban Newspapers

Many conservatives were outraged when President Obama was photographed in Havana at a ceremony near a building with a Che Guevara mural, a disapproval they didn’t seem to possess when Republican presidents posed next to communist icon(link is external).

But in its own response to Obama’s trip to Cuba, the Connecticut Republican Party(link is external) fell for a photoshopped image of Obama holding a Che t-shirt(link is external) that has been making the rounds on the internet. The t-shirt Obama is holding(link is external) actually features a math joke.

The state GOP party chairman cited this fake image(link is external) to speculate whether the president will follow communist countries in banning the free press.
