This is the supporter of Biden and Black Lives Matter who appeared in a Trump ad, cleaning up after violence while a narrator extolled Trump's greatness. He's speaking up. Backstory here: https://t.co/G6rTVS6NdL https://t.co/EhoqxO2rSO

Scalise retweets altered video
Another altered video tweeted by Republicans
We’re all talking about the Scalise video of @AdyBarkan being on Twitter but it was also posted on Facebook. And Facebook did nothing.

Twitter slaps 'manipulated media' tag on video Tweeted by @SteveScalise, which inserted the words “for police” into @AdyBarkan’s question about funding for public safety and mental health services, using the same computer-generated voice. https://t.co/vZOo3rXScW

These are not my words.
I have lost my ability to speak, but not my agency or my thoughts.
You and your team have doctored my words for your own political gain.
Please remove this video immediately. You owe the entire disability community an apology. https://t.co/N6G5RgMXlO

Trump and his campaign post fake videos and pictures
There is also a fake Pelosi video. Social media needs to take all of this stuff down.
So the Trump campaign has taken over the @washingtonpost home page with ads that take you to a series of YouTube videos that make claims that we have fact-checked as false. Here's a sampling –>

Biden was photographed touching his forehead while conducting a town hall at an Iowa nature preserve in September 2019.

The Trump campaign edited out his mic and the trees to portray him as stuck in his Delaware basement…though kept his sunglasses. https://t.co/3XT2tmJZHj pic.twitter.com/I2zgIL1x0M
New Trump ad:
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 5, 2020
– Edits mic, trees out of photo of Biden in Iowa to claim he's hiding in Delaware basement
– Uses photo of Biden at Iowa party to claim he's hiding in basement
– Uses photo of him praying after George Floyd's death to portray him as defeatedhttps://t.co/cSTlPxuYvk

The ad intones: "Joe Biden sits in his basement, alone, hiding, diminished"
Except this is an image of Biden praying in the Bethel AME church.

Manipulating Biden quotes
Trump and his cult will keep distorting Biden’s words
The Trump campaign, McEnany and Pence are taking Biden comments about policing out of context. (No, Biden didn’t just declare police the enemy.) And the NowThis video of Biden’s chat with Ady Barkan was itself edited, omitting some key quotes. Fact check: https://t.co/xUnDsv1rOD
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) July 10, 2020
Good catch here on the whole Biden "enemy" quote. Lou Dobbs inserted a word, changing Biden's "they become the enemy" (to describe how militarized police can look) to Dobbs's "they have become the enemy." That alters the meaning entirely. https://t.co/2L2HJVg2Bx pic.twitter.com/x341Ip1o2b
