All we know is the first photo linked in the article that is claimed to be fake is not fake. We have 3 different angles of it that were posted by news organizations in the past. So the photo linked to the Cruz web site they wanted taken down is real (taken at the Obamas SOTU address).

What is also not in doubt is a drawing of Rubio and Obama shaking hands in front to the capital builds is fake. But it is so obviously fake that there was no way any sensible person would of thought it was real.

The article also points to a third picture. This picture of Rubio leaning against a "closed" sign at Cruz's web site. I did a reverse image search of that picture and it probable is photoshopped. I could not find where it was posted before.

This article tried to make the reader confuse the two is all I can surmise. Thus claiming both were fake.

I see no reason for Cruz to take down the picture first linked in this story (and claimed to be fake).

So to recap... this photo used at the Cruz website linked below is real.

This photo also used at the Cruz website is probable fake. Link below.

Now the article says it is mad at the picture (see post 50 or post 145). This is the picture the campaign manager was holding up (Todd Harris). See link below

It is an obvious fake, so very obvious it doesn't need a disclaimer. I don't know where it was used, since it is not at the Cruz website, so probable on a mailer (which uses photoshopped photos all the time).
