Fact Check: FAKE Photo Shows Rep. Nancy Mace With Exaggerated Features Edited

Does a photo shared to X authentically depict Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina? No, that's not true: The image in question has been edited to exaggerate the politican's eyes, mouth, and facial features. Her official portrait, posted on her Congressional profile online, does not share these same characteristics.

The claim appeared in a post (archived here) on X shared March 4, 2025, with a caption that read:

all over the world, extremely hot girls

Below is how the post looked on X at the time of this publication:

The image shared in the post was edited to exaggerate Mace's chin, eyes and other facial features. Her official portrait (archived here), which is posted on her Congressional portfolio, does not include the large eyes and mouth, as shown below:
