Speaking to BuzzFeed, Corbett’s campaign admitted that the “whole website footer graphic is a work of Photoshop.”

They went on to clarify that “the graphic has both stock photos and actual photos in it.”

But BuzzFeed did a particularly good job in showing how blatant the mocked up photo is:

Here’s the picture in question that appears at the bottom of Corbett’s campaign website.
