'Nice try': GOP Rep. fact checked after using border picture from when Trump was president

Congressman Chuck Edwards (R-NC) Tuesday posted an image on social media of a purported migrant surge with a photo of Joe Biden and the caption, "I did that"

Edwards posted the photo on X, writing no words with it.

The problem, as others were quick to point out, is that the image was from when Trump was still in office and therefore has nothing to do with the current U.S. president.

"This is a photo from 2018 when Donald Trump was president," said Josh Schwerin, the communications director for Priorities USA.

Edwards responded to Schwerin, not acknowledging that he was in the wrong. Instead, he posted another purported border photo and wrote, "Satisfied?"

"I'm just here waiting on Community Notes to correct another Republican's lies," one X user wrote.

"From 2018. Guess who was president then? Nice try," another internet user wrote.

National security lawyer Bradley P. Moss also joined in the conversation, saying, "Impressive given that photo is from 2018."
