Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been called a “massive clown” for posting what appears to be a terribly doctored photo of himself on Instagram.

The New York Democrat shared an image from Brooklyn with the caption “Home Sweet Home” — with the bench he is leaning against wildly warped around his hips.

“You’ve got a terrible social media team, my man. Work on those editing skills,” photographer Kiel Phillips commented in response.

“Bro why did you photoshop your hips? Or are park benches in [Brooklyn] wavy like that?” asked Petey Pablo.

Jeffries was also called out by John Dorsey, the fitness influencer known as Goob who regularly spotlights those who edit their images to misrepresent their physiques online.

Goob said you’d “have to be a massive clown” to be a well-known politician posting such a photo and not expect people to notice.

He believes the prominent congressman was trying to look taller.

“Hakeem, it’s OK to be a short king – you don’t have to edit your photos to make yourself look taller. In fact, it’s more embarrassing than just being a short king,” he said in a video posted to Instagram.

“Whatever you’re doing in this is bizarre and uncalled for,” he said chuckling.

Dorsey noted two other of Jeffries’ past Instagram posts where the background also appears warped, possibly indicating they were also edited.

“If you’re a grown man willing to lie about your height, what else are you willing to lie about?” a user named Rodney commented on Jeffries’ post.

Jeffries does not appear to have addressed the controversy, and has kept the image up on Instagram for his nearly 700,000 followers.

The post Hakeem Jeffries dubbed ‘massive clown’ for posting botched, edited photo of himself: ‘Work on those editing skills’ appeared first on New York Post.
