"Your use of my image has been deceptive" stated the famous U.S doctor.
In the final stretch of the election Chilean campaign, Sebastian Piñera has caused a media stir in Chile with the supposed support that famous American doctor Patch Adams gave to the flag bearer of the right, who is facing a presidential second round in Chile against center-left candidate Alejandro Guillier. But in a strongly worded statement on his Twitter Patch Adams categorically denied campaigning for Piñeraa:"To be clear, I do not support him"
Amigos chilenos, estoy preparando una declaración, pero quiero que sepan que no apoyo, DE NINGUNA MANERA, la candidatura de @sebastianpinera y mucho menos su propuesta política para Chile. Su uso de mi imagen ha sido engañaso y pido que la dejen de usar para su campaña.

Patch Adams responded quickly and categorically via his own Twitter: "Chilean friends, I am preparing a statement, but I want you to know that I do not support, in ANY WAY, the candidacy of @sebastianpinera and much less his political proposals for Chile. Your use of my image has been deceptive and I ask that you stop using it for your campaign"
This is not Sebastian Piñera's first media gaffe, earlier in the campaign he received the support of infamous Narco Pablo Escobar's main sicario, Jhon Jairo Velasquez, a man responsible for the deaths of over 250 people, who warned against the impending danger of "communism" if Piñera's opponent Alejandro Guillier were to win the election.
