Twitter Labels Trump Campaign Video of Biden’s Speech ‘Manipulated Media’

Twitter says President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign shared a video of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden that was manipulated.

On Monday afternoon, the Trump campaign cut out a portion of Biden’s speech to make it appear as though he said, “You won’t be safe in 👤Joe Biden’s America!”

That was a three-second clip that was taken out of context of the original speech. 

In a separate tweet, the campaign said, “To all the triggered journalists who can’t take a joke about their candidate, it’s not our fault 👤Joe Biden was dumb enough to say this on camera.”

Still, Twitter added a warning that said the video was “manipulated media.”

Biden accused Trump of lacking an agenda and trying to use scare tactics as a campaign strategy, as IJR reported.

During his speech, Biden said, “And since they have no agenda or vision for a second term, Trump and Pence are running on this: ‘You won’t be safe in 👤Joe Biden’s America.”

Watch the full video below:

“And what’s their proof? The violence you’re seeing in 👤Donald Trump’s America. These are not images from some imagined ‘👤Joe Biden’s America’ in the future. These are images from 👤Donald Trump’s America today,” he added.

Biden went on to claim that “👤Donald Trump looks at this violence and sees a political lifeline” and is “trying to scare America.”
