schema:text	In October 2020, as U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearing was underway in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, an image supposedly showing a fly on her shoulder started circulating on social media. This image seemed especially amusing to some viewers as it appeared a few days after a fly landed on the head of U.S. Vice President Mike Pence during the vice presidential debate. While a fly truly landed on Pence's head (where it remained for a full two minutes), the image showing a fly on Barrett's shoulder is fake. A larger version of the image supposedly showing a fly on Barrett's shoulder included some additional information about where and when this incidental incident took place. The larger image includes a chyron reading "Day 1" of Barrett's confirmation hearing, and a timestamp. We reviewed video of this section of Barrett's hearing, and it simply does not show a fly on her shoulder. The fake image of a fly on Barrett's shoulder was supposedly taken at 2:08 p.m. EST on Day One of her confirmation hearing. This is when Patricia O’Hara, retired dean at the University of Notre Dame Law School, was delivering remarks about the Supreme Court nominee. A video of this moment from C-SPAN shows that there was no fly on Barrett's shoulder: https://youtu.be/BrkD9mfvrB8?t=18863 While the C-SPAN footage momentarily cuts away from Barrett, videos from other outlets keep Barrett in frame during O'Hara's full remarks, and show that a fly never landed on her. It should be noted that as far as we can tell, the housefly is an apolitical creature. While much ado was made about the fly that landed on Pence's head during the vice presidential debate, flies have also proven bothersome for former U.S. President Barack Obama, current President Donald Trump, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
