Alabama Sen. Cam Ward (R-Alabaster) kicked up a tweetstorm Sunday after posting on Twitter about this weekend's protests with a photo that was several years old and showed multiple women in revealing clothing.

I totally respect the 1st Amendment. Just glad to hear how liberals call conservatives "extreme". This photo says it all #NotMyFolks

The photo was from an event in 2013 called SlutWalk Chicago, an annual parade that protests sexual assault and violence.

Ward's tweet soon attracted dozens of angry tweets, many pointing out that the photo was not taken at a women's march, and accusing Ward of spreading "fake news" or "alternative facts."

Ward stood by his statement, tweeting "Never said it was from yesterday. Pointing out how 'civil protests' have been anything but lately. Both right & left have discarded civility".

2. Liars and cons who pray upon the misinformed and uninformed.

There would be no Republican party if truth was mandatory.

5. Thank you so much for posting this.

It was shared yesterday, with a vile snarky message, on my FB page but I didn't know anything about it. I have now gone back and schooled the asshole who posted it.

6. You're most definitely welcome.

I probably should unfollow some "friend" on Facebook an maybe some family members that aren't on Facebook. Unfortunately, most people don't ask questions about the legitimacy of what they post online.
