House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was brutally mocked across social media Wednesday after he posted what was meant to be an image celebrating the New York Knicks’ return to the NBA Finals after a 27-year absence. Instead, the Brooklyn Democrat got an online earful from users pointing out that the portrait of him in an all-white Knicks hat appeared to have been tweaked in a bid to remove age lines from his face, sharpen his jawline, and smooth out his prominent cheekbones. National Republican Senatorial Committee aide Sarah Gallagher flagged the funky photo to X, posting: “[B]abe wake up hakeem jeffries [sic] is using facetune [sic] again.
