Many Twitter users were quick to point out that Messing had distributed a photograph that had been photoshopped and have called out the actress for her viral tweet.
You sure hear an awful lot of dog whistles, Debra.

Conservative Youtuber Mark Dice posted the original picture of the Nazi dictator at a rally alongside the photoshopped image in which a Bible was placed into his hands in the comments of Messing’s Twitter thread.
“Like everything made by Hollywood, this is fake. Here’s the original on the left.”, Dice responded.

The responses to Messing’s tweet were not a partisan takedown but also included posts from the fact-checker Snopes, which also verifies that the picture is a fake.

Radio commentator and Townhall columnist Larry O’ Connor ripped into the actress for “having no moral compass” and attempting to spread hate with false information.
“Except when the Hitler photo is FAKE it ends up being a dog whistle for desperate, hateful people with no moral compass, like you.
Every time you do things like this, you lose more and more support.
Just. Stop.”
