Former Trump Spokesperson Dragged After Bookcase Behind Her Appears To Have A 'Crease' In It

Former Trump Spokesperson Dragged After Bookcase Behind Her Appears To Have A 'Crease' In It
Sky News

Trump supporters aren't exactly known for their honesty, and that apparently extends even to the backdrops in their home offices.

Twitter is having a field day after former Trump spokeswoman Erin Elmore did a live interview with the U.K.'s Sky News in front of what looked like a bookcase with a crease in it, proving it was nothing more than a fabric backdrop.


And given Trumpworld's propensity for chicanery, people couldn't help but drag her for it.

The incident occurred Friday during an interview between Sky's Adam Boulton and Elmore, a member of Trump's 2016 campaign and a contestant on his former reality show The Apprentice.

Almost immediately upon the interview getting under way, eagle-eyed viewers began noticing little details about the background in Elmore's Jupiter, Florida home that didn't quite add up, like the fact none of the books had titles on their spines.

But it was a detail directly to the right of Elmore, down in the corner of the screen where presumably she thought people wouldn't notice, that got the most attention—a crease that betrayed the bookcase was a fabric backdrop.

One particularly sleuthy tweeter even found the very same background on Amazon.

For the bargain price of $16.60, you too can have Erin Elmore's bookcase.

No word on whether it's eligible for Prime shipping, however.

Now, in Elmore's defense, using a backdrop for an interview, whether at home or in a studio, is a very common practice. But when combined with the combative and dishonest interview she did with Boulton, people weren't really interested in cutting her much slack.

Elmore's and Boulton's exchange got particularly heated when Boulton asked Elmore for her two cents on removing Trump from office, and she responded by accusing Joe Biden of having mental health issues.

Boulton's response was one for the record books:

"I'm just going to put it to you finally, I know you're in Jupiter, Florida, but I think many British viewers in particular will think you are living on another very strange planet which has lost touch with right and wrong and political morality."

It's safe to assume Twitter agreed with that assessment, because they took to roasting Elmore with unbridled glee.






And they weren't impressed with her interview performance either.




For her part, Elmore was not amused.

In an email to Indy100, Elmore had some choice words for her critics.

"If you're looking for some gotcha moment, this is not it. I hope your journalistic efforts lead you somewhere greater than my fake books."

Guess the internet struck a nerve.

Skydiver Who Crashed Into Scoreboard During Virginia Tech Football Game Speaks Out After Scary Incident

It started as a routine game-day stunt—but within seconds, a skydiver’s planned landing at a Virginia Tech football game turned into a frightening midair collision with the scoreboard.

Tucker Carlson Issues Somber Apology For 'Misleading People' Into Supporting Trump: 'We're Implicated In This'

Acknowleding that he's "implicated in this for sure," former Fox News host Tucker Carlson lamented his support for President Donald Trump on his show this week and issued an apology for "misleading people" into supporting him.

Carlson has broken with Trump over different issues over the last several months. His remarks come shortly after he criticized Trump for launching a war with Iran and urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Trump responded by calling Carlson and other high-profile conservative critics “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Karoline Leavitt Gets Brutal Reminder After Claiming Trump 'Follows Through' On His Promises

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was quickly reminded how easily President Trump waffles on his own decisions after she claimed that Trump "does not bluff" when he says he's going to do something.

Leavitt appeared on Fox News to defend Trump's handling of the war in Iran and to criticize media outlets who reported that Trump's claims of progress—which include threatening Iranians with further destruction for not fully opening the Strait of Hormuz—don't align with what's actually happening on the ground.

Mike Myers Channels 'Shrek' Character In Full Green Face Paint To Honor Costar Eddie Murphy—And We're Obsessed

Prior to 2001, the future at Dreamworks was not looking so bright. One of the final projects they had prepared was Shrek, which no one on the team had high hopes for.

Funnily enough, the members of the team who were assigned to the film considered it a punishment and called it being "Shreked."

Artemis II Astronaut Shares Video Of The 'Earthset' He Captured With His iPhone—And It's Absolutely Stunning

The Artemis II crew has been back on Earth for a little while now after their record-breaking journey around the Moon, traveling the greatest distance from Earth of all previous missions.

The team has already released quite a few well-edited photographs of the view of the Earth around the Moon, as well as the Moon's surface as they circled around it, but the video astronaut Reid Wiseman just shared might be the most impressive artifact we've seen from the trip so far.
