Twitter Labels Unedited Video Clip of Biden Saying “We Can Only Re-elect Donald Trump” as “Manipulated Media”
Joe Biden held a rally Saturday at Kiener Plaza in downtown St. Louis and he couldn’t even deliver a 7 minute speech without bungling sentences.
Biden made his biggest gaffe yet shortly after he forgot his own name and declared himself an “Obiden-Bama Democrat.”
Biden awkwardly endorsed President Trump on Saturday.
“We cannot win this re-election — Excuse me — We can only reelect Donald Trump.” Biden said.
President Trump’s social media director Dan Scavino tweeted out a completely unedited video of Biden saying “we can only re-elect Donald Trump” and Twitter came in to shield old Joe from scrutiny.
Twitter labeled raw video of Biden’s St. Louis rally where he jumbled sentences as “manipulated media.”
Nothing in the video Scavino tweeted was manipulated or edited. Twitter is interfering in the 2020 election by protecting Joe Biden and falsely labeling a video of his gaffe as “manipulated media.”
Just in: Twitter applied its new manipulated media label for the first time to a deceptively edited video of Joe Biden. It was shared by White House social media director Dan Scavino, and retweeted by the president. pic.twitter.com/PggcCwMNkx

A member of Trump’s digital team said he’s looking forward to an explanation from Twitter on how this is “manipulated media.”
Looking forward to an explanation from @TwitterGov on how this is “manipulated media.”
Twitter said they’ll label a video manipulated if it’s:
1. Substantially edited
2. Visual/audio is added/removed
3. Video is fabricated/simulatedThe clip @DanScavino posted was a REAL CLIP! https://t.co/IYWF8PF3Pf
