A Huge Rally of Bernie Sanders in California
A reproduced image started circulation on Facebook in the first week of May 2016. This image was showing a massive gathering of individuals with a caption that “Nothing to See Here, Just a Bernie Rally in California”. On 7th May 2016, one of the most popular versions of this image was published. But, it didn’t mention the specific date or essential details regarding the supposed rally of Bernie Sanders. Originally, the image didn’t mention any location in California or the image of rally of Bernie Sanders. This photograph was originally captured on a May Day rally in Havana, Cuba. The image was also reflecting a sign that the creator of this meme was being untrustworthy and hoaxer.
The published image in the meme was showing a clear sign for the location in Cuba. The identifying location in Cuba was covered by the captioned version. The original image was initially circulated on Twitter and it was clearly showing a rally in Havana. A large number of online users shared the image with different angles on 1st May 2016, which was much similar to the gathering in Havana. The discussed image was originally not captured at the “Bernie rally”, but it wasn’t the first with the similarity. A similar image was also circulated in the month of April 2016. This image was mentioning a massive gathering in New York of the supporters of Sanders, but it was originally showing the demonstration in Paris.
