    Oh it is gross in many ways, no argument there, gross feet, gross tabloid / social media bs…

    But, this is apparently the state of modern US politics, and I wanted to give an at least semi-credible source, and not have to personally dive in to twitter to find the direct source.

    Also, this is, I think, the real photo.

    The fake one has MTG with only 3 visible toes on each foot.

    Here, hers are splayed badly, and her pinky toes are basically crushed under/behind the sandal and adjacent toe, but you can still make them out.

    EDIT: goddamnit.

    Yeah, here it is, the fake, based off of the above image, that circulated around twitter:

      Ahh, thank you! So the truth is that she has webbed feet, which seems weird enough on its own that we don’t really need the 3 toe rumor.

        Not…webbed feet.

        Webbed feet is when there is … webbing, skin connecting between your toes, like a swimming flipper, as a duck does, though its usually not that pronounced when it occurs in humans.

        Hers have been deformed by her wearing extremely poorly fitting shoes her whole life, and/or possibly just had fucked up toe alignment to some extent, to begin with.

        More like foot bondage, but less extreme, and self imposed.

        Think of how if your teeth grow in funny, you may need braces to better align them.

        Well, this is sorta like that, but where the shoes are functionally the braces, and they’re all fucked up and force the toes into an extreme configuration over time.
