‘Short King’ Panic? Hakeem Jeffries Mocked for Photoshop Disaster [WATCH]

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is facing public criticism after posting an image on Instagram that observers say appears to be digitally altered.

The post, captioned “Home Sweet Home,” featured Jeffries leaning against a bench in Brooklyn.

However, the background, including the bench itself, appeared warped, prompting accusations of photo editing.

The image, shared with Jeffries’ nearly 700,000 Instagram followers, quickly drew attention from social media users, photographers, and content creators who noted the distorted lines and curves around Jeffries’ hips and the bench.

“You’ve got a terrible social media team, my man. Work on those editing skills,” photographer Kiel Phillips wrote in the comments.

“Bro why did you photoshop your hips? Or are park benches in [Brooklyn] wavy like that?” asked social media user Petey Pablo, joining a growing list of commenters who pointed out the apparent image manipulation.

John Dorsey, a fitness influencer known online as “Goob,” who frequently calls out digital alterations in social media images, addressed the post in a video uploaded to his own Instagram account.

“Hakeem, it’s OK to be a short king – you don’t have to edit your photos to make yourself look taller. In fact, it’s more embarrassing than just being a short king,” Dorsey said.

He added, “Whatever you’re doing in this is bizarre and uncalled for,” while laughing at the visual inconsistencies.

In the same video, Dorsey referred to Jeffries as a “massive clown” for posting a photo that appeared to be obviously edited while serving in a high-profile political role.

Dorsey also cited two other posts on Jeffries’ Instagram that he claimed show similar distortions in the background, suggesting that this may not be an isolated instance.

The incident sparked further criticism in the comment section of Jeffries’ post.

One user, identified as Rodney, wrote, “If you’re a grown man willing to lie about your height, what else are you willing to lie about?”

Despite the controversy, Jeffries has not issued a public response regarding the allegations of photo editing. The original image remains posted on his official Instagram account.

Jeffries, who represents New York’s 8th congressional district and currently serves as House Minority Leader, has maintained a consistent social media presence.

However, the recent post has drawn heightened scrutiny due to the nature of the alleged digital manipulation and the broader implications it may raise about authenticity in political communication.

As of Tuesday, the image had not been altered or removed, and no official comment has been made by Jeffries or his office regarding the backlash.
