A viral photo making the rounds on social media that purportedly shows Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin in a red hat that reads “Make Whites Great Again” is fake, actually showing a man notorious for online trolling and his support of Donald Trump.
The viral fake has fueled already flaring racial tensions in the wake of the George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis on Monday. Video showed Chauvin with his knee pressed against the neck of Floyd, who lay motionless on the ground and pleaded that he could not breathe. Chauvin kept his knee in place for several minutes after Floyd became unresponsive, and the suspect was declared dead a short time later.
