Did a waitress at a diner hold a Dr. Mehmet Oz campaign sign so that it would read "NO"? No, that's not true: The picture with the "NO" sign has been edited. On Oz's verified social media accounts, the sign is much smaller and is being held the correct way.
The claim appeared in an Instagram post on August 28, 2022. The post's caption reads:
Well played ♟😂🤣
This is what the post looked like on Instagram at the time of writing:
On August 12, 2022, Oz visited the Capitol Diner in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, while running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Here is a local news article about the event.
This photo in the Instagram post has been edited. On Oz's verified social media accounts -- Instagram, Facebook and Twitter -- there are unedited versions of this photo. The sign in the unedited photo is much smaller and held the right way up.
