Looking at a recent mailing from the Minnesota DFL causes some Daudt doubt.
Is that House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt's head superimposed on someone else's body?
Indeed, on the mailer going after Republican House candidate Stacey Stout, it is.
Conor McFadden, whose body is in the mailing reacted thusly:
Zach Rodvold, who manages the DFL House's campaign operation, said photo changes like that are standard tools mailing designers use.
"Every major political party in every state in the United States uses Photoshop," said Rodvold. "I don't think this is unique."
Rodvold shared a mailing the Republican Party send out going after DFL Rep. Peter Fischer, DFL-Maplewood, that altered an outfit onto Fischer and put a traffic sign into his hand.
Although he said changing photos is common operating procedure in politics, he said using someone else's body in place of Daudt's was a design mistake.
Instead, he said, they simply could have used a photo Stout tweeted of herself with Daudt. Next time, Rodvold said, DFLers will use an actual photo of the two Republicans together.
This post has been updated to correct the spelling of Zach Rodvold's first name.
