The Super PAC Right to Rise Photoshopped Bush's picture against a Cedar Rapids stock image, and it appears to some that he has one black hand.

Many on social media speculated that Bush's head was cropped onto a black model.

However, Right to Rise's Paul Lindsay, showing the original photo on Twitter, indicated that the image shows a shadow over Bush's hand cast from a woman who stood beside him.
