Pelosi defends altered photo of Democratic women

The office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) digitally added several female members to a photograph intended to include all of the women in the House Democratic Caucus.

While dozens of members turned out for the Thursday photo-op, some weren’t able to make it on time, ABC News reported. Rep. Debbie Wassermann Schultz (D-Fla.), the chair of the Democratic National Committee, was among the members who were added to the photo.

In addition to Wasserman Schultz, ABC News also spotted Reps. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) and Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) showing up late. Each of the four were added to the photograph.

The Washington Post used a photograph of the Democratic women taken by staff photographer Bill O’Leary on the front page of Friday’s newspaper that was not altered.

When asked about the doctored photo, which was posted on Pelosi’s Facebook and Flickr pages, the Democratic leader defended the decision.  Full Article
