Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been accused of lying about his dinner after he shared more than a year-old photo of eating out while trying to encourage people to go back to restaurants to support small businesses.
During the weekend, Mr Walker shared a picture of him sitting at a restaurant table and tweeted: “Great pizza tonight at San Giorgio Pizzeria Napoletana. We have to support our local restaurants and small businesses!”
With more than 18.64 million Covid-19 cases including over 328,000 deaths, the US has the highest number of coronavirus cases in the world. The pandemic has impacted many small businesses, including restaurants, and people are encouraging each other to support such places to keep them afloat.
But within hours of Mr Walker’s tweet, a Twitter user, Erik Halvorsen, pointed out that the picture was from 2019. Subsequently, other users on the social media platform joined in.

As long as we accept the lying by politicians it will continue. Anyone who consistently lies believes everyone else consistently lies as well. Anyone guilty of fraud suspects everyone else of fraud. And so it goes, the self perpetuating circle

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
SGT (Join to see) I Wouldn't have a Problem with Him Supporting Local Businesses and Encouraging People to Buy Pizzas from this Pizza Joint would be Outstanding but to Lie about Eating "In House"? Thankfully He was Stupid enough to Use an Old Photo and be Called Out!
