Firstly, it's clearly not him. But I can understand you hicks thinking it is, because black guy.
Secondly, this is QCult logic again. Ask yourself WHY they would take such a risk when running the test?

lots of BS. for someone trying to sound technical, your actual knowledge seems lacking.
twitter does in fact cache card images, here's an example url.
as for where it takes those from, i assume twitter:image metadata (present on obama.org website), cached at the time of posting. either that, or og:image (open graph), doesn't matter since both seem to point to the same url.
currently it points to this, the question is wether it was pointing to anything Floyd-related before the date of his murder. i've tried several web archive snapshots, to no avail - it was different than now, but nothing related to this case. but that's for the main page, the question is what's the exact url related to the thumbnail in question, then we can check that in web archive.
Yikes! Thanks for calling me out. Here I thought my 20+ years of programming might help offer a plausible explanation.
Since you sound really really technical, do you think they're using SHA-2 or 3 for hash digests on those caches you "assume" (another really really technical term) they're using?
