Anyone who knows sports wanna zoom in and figure out who that is on the newspaper and if it makes sense for a recent edition? Thinking this pic may be old or AI.
The image quality is likely terrible on purpose. It's square, so it's almost certainly modified at least to crop it, I only rarely see people do square photos on purpose for something that is supposedly candid. Photos can be taken at any time, so this would only be proof of life if
The newspaper's date was legible and the paper itself could be verified
The photo's quality allowed for better "is it AI" analysis

I don't think anyone is believing a photo. It's funny though.

Judging by this pic, Mitch “Rigor Tortoise” McConnell is more corpse than man

Where did you get this pic? This is absolutely the same pic if we can find the source.

I want the "chin too square 5/7" guys to go nuts on this picture.
Personally I think he's holding that newspaper kind of strangely, and I don't know what's up with the bright spot around his index finger.
Also the complexion on his left hand is gnarly.

Looks like the paper may be from Sunday July 12 (today's edition) based on the baseball article.

The fact they purposely included a current newspaper because they recognise how surprising it is he is still alive. Lol.

No. He didnt randomly lose jowels, chins and 20 years of age. That Pic is utter bullshit.

Not proof. Might be true, might not be, no way to know.

If your not sure, then it's not proof.
