Twitter Hilariously Misunderstands Tweet And Calls For Arrest Of "Via Getty"


LINK

Yesterday during the turmoil in DC, when Trump supporters stormed the capitol, many photos that will one day be iconic emerged from the ruckus. One such photo was of a man apparently stealing a podium from The People's House.

Politico reporter Ryan Lizza tweeted out this photo of the rabble-rouser, and many on Twitter were quick to note that the man in the photo looks quite a bit like Chip Gaines from the show Fixer Upper.

However, there were some more unintentionally hilarious takes on this photo. In his tweet, Ryan Lizza credited Getty Images for the photo in the way a journalist typically would, by saying "Via Getty." As in, "I got the photo from Getty." This confused some of the smaller brains on the left who believed that Lizza identified the man in the photo by the name "Via Getty."


Some people think that "Via Getty" is a real person and a Trump supporter, so they are angrily calling for their arrest.

Sadly, it's not just a few people. It seems to be hundreds that want Via Getty arrested.

Free Via Getty!!!!

Twitter is full of mindless sheep who live their lives going to Twitter daily to be told what to think.

Chip Gains is definitely a republican. Everyone I know from Baylor are at least somewhat right leaning.

I guess he's going to get canceled along with his hot wife.

If white people would stop coming up with stupid names for their kids, there wouldn't have been any confusion.

Babylon Bee's actual news site is called "not the bee".

Notthebee = Crazy shite that actually happened.

Babylon Bee = Crazy shite that hasn't happened yet.

Like our friend Phil Leotardo, via’s family name was misspelled at Ellis island. They’ve been taking shite from the Medigans since they got off the boat.
