Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) in handcuffs. On Tuesday, multiple Democratic lawmakers were briefly detained — or, more accurately, led away by officers — because they refused to comply with law enforcement orders to stop blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court. The lawmakers were participating in a pro-abortion protest. When ABC News tweeted about the incident, the news outlet used photos of Ocasio-Cortez and Omar that showed the lawmakers with their hands behind their backs as they were led away by police officers. The images thus suggest the lawmakers were placed in handcuffs and formally arrested. But that is not what happened. Neither lawmaker was led away in handcuffs. It is not clear why they put their hands behind their backs when officers did not handcuff them. The optics of the image, however, certainly earned brownie points with their supporters. ABC News was harshly criticized over its decision to falsely depict Ocasio-Cortez and Omar in handcuffs. "ABC can't honestly use these photos. AOC and Ilhan Omar are PRETENDING to be handcuffed," Steve Guest, an adviser to Sen. Ted Cruz, reacted. Clarifying that the lawmakers were not arrested in handcuffs is important because Ocasio-Cortez has already seized on the incident to fundraise. Starts @ 1:13 - Fair Use-

"The pic choice is a deliberate editorial decision, by the same people who performatively wonder why trust in media is down," another person noted.
