Weaving guest starred on the final episodes of the first season of the cult series and had originally posted this photo to her Instagram and Twitter account on January 4.

Pro-Trump network, Conservative Nation, posted the image on Twitter with the caption: “Here’s what happened to female Trump supporter when she met “peaceful” and “tolerant” liberals”.
She found fame as a bikini-clad beauty on Home And Away.
The only issue – the photo is actually of former Home and Away actress Samara Weaving and it was taken on the set of an American horror-comedy series, Ash vs Evil Dead.
There’s been a lot of concern lately about violence coming from Donald Trump protestors, but Bruce Campbell is pouring cold water on the mogul’s supporters for using a picture from his TV show as Twitter propaganda.
Weaving played Indi Walker in the soap and, when the Trump picture was taken, she was in full make-up for Ash vs. Evil Dead, which is filming in New Zealand.
A group called Conservative Nation tweeted the gruesome image on Monday, claiming that it’s a Trump supporter who’d been brutally bashed by opposing campaigners.
“Check your facts, folks”.
At the time of Ms Weaving’s request, the tweet had received 563 retweets and 343 likes.

This comes after several Trump supporters were legitimately attacked outside a rally for the presumptive GOP nominee in San Jose, California, last week.
