Extract image using Newspaper from HTML

I can't download articles like one usually does to instantiate the Article object, like below:

from newspaper import Article
url = 'http://fox13now.com/2013/12/30/new-year-new-laws-obamacare-pot-guns-and-drones/'
article = Article(url)
article.download()
article.top_image

However, I can get the HTML from a request. Can I use this raw HTML and pass it somehow to Newspaper to extract the image from it? (below is an attempt, but doesn't work). Thanks

from newspaper import Article
import requests
url = 'http://fox13now.com/2013/12/30/new-year-new-laws-obamacare-pot-guns-and-drones/'
raw_html= requests.get(url, verify=False, proxies=proxy)
article = Article('')
article.set_html(raw_html)
article.top_image
