Twitter determined that a White House official published a manipulated video of 2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden, adding a label to the tweet to notify users.
Dan Scavino Jr., an assistant to the president and the director of social media at the White House, tweeted a video of Biden from a Saturday campaign event in Kansas City, Missouri. In the 13-second clip, the former vice president stumbled on a sentence and then said, "Excuse me. We can only reelect Donald Trump."
The clip, however, failed to include the second half of Biden's sentence, which read in full, "Excuse me. We can only reelect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. It's gotta be a positive campaign."
