The claim
小泉進次郎氏が「これにお金を払ったらただで貰えました」などと発言
Original review summary
A claim circulated on August 25, 2024, that Shinjirō Koizumi had made the quoted remarks. The review found no confirmation that he said them and traced their likely source to jokes posted by users on the Bokete comedy site.[S1]
Additional context
The review describes Bokete as a site where users post prompts and other users submit joke responses; it says the text accompanying Koizumi’s image was very likely user-submitted humor. [S1]
