In the tradition of unionized labor, a half-assed effort was made. The original image was sloppily photoshopped so that most (but not all) of the Ukrainian flag appeared right-side up. The revised version was posted on Twitter several hours later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1575132\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/weingarten2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"736\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/weingarten2.png 736w, https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/weingarten2-300x188.png 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The mockery did not abate. On Wednesday morning, the ALF-CIO admitted defeat and deleted the poorly photoshopped image.
