Gun-Control Activist Posted Photo Of Republican Candidate Wearing Offensive Shirt. The Photo Was Fake.

Shannon Watts, founder of anti-gun rights group Moms Demand Action, shared a photo last week in an attempt to hurt the campaign of Nick Frietas, a Republican running for congress in Virginia.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that Watts posted a tweet with the photo on Thursday, but has since deleted the image after it was proven to be a fake.
