Showing Original Post only (View all)Photo allegedly shows Obama and Epstein drinking beers in Southeast Asia. That's not who it is. [View all]

A photograph authentically shows former U.S. President Barack Obama drinking beer in Southeast Asia with convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
The man in the photograph with Obama is late television host and chef Anthony Bourdain.
In July 2025, a photograph circulated online purportedly showing former U.S. President Barack Obama drinking beer with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The picture was allegedly taken in a Southeast Asian country, according to numerous posts. One X user's caption read: "It was buried by the press, but not only were Obama and Jeffrey Epstein friends, they traveled around Thailand together, in search of 'the perfect spring roll'."

I knew it was Anthony Bourdain the moment I saw the picture. The only similarity between him and Epstein is both are dead.
I saw the episode on TV where Bourdain and Obama both had lunch together.

I wonder how many Americans will believe unquestioningly that this meeting happened by Thursday
