An aide from conservative student group Turning Point USA has been fired after President Trump appeared in front of a doctored presidential seal at the Teen Student Action Summit on Tuesday. A source familiar with the incident told CNN the altered seal was simply a Google search gone wrong. The doctored seal showed a two-headed eagle, like Russia’s national symbol, clutching a set of golf clubs instead of arrows. “We’re sorry for the mix-up and meant no disrespect to the White House or the President or the advance team,” TPUSA said in a statement, adding that there was “zero malicious intent.” The source told CNN the fired staffer was in the audiovisual department and did a Google search for a high-res presidential seal, not realizing that the image chosen was doctored. The White House blamed TPUSA for the mix-up, with an official saying, “We never saw the seal in question before it appeared in the video. For anything further, you would need to contact Turning Point—it was their event.”
