From Poynter's PolitiFact:
Video circulating on social media claims to show former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with reptilian features. But the videos and photos were edited. https://t.co/bIbWuPkl9c

How did we ever get along without fact checkers?
Actually, this one is more than a bit interesting in that some of the early uses of the term Fact Check in the public, countering misinformation context, rapid response and all that, rather than the older usage of internal fact checkers in newspapers and magazines, were by Hillary's Presidential campaign. And then it sort of metastasized.
Plus reptiles.
