Right-wing media keeps pushing 'manipulated' Biden video they know is misleading

A deceptive video shows Biden appearing to endorse Trump — but that didn't happen.

The Trump administration and its right-wing media allies have been circulating a deceptively cropped video of Joe Biden from Saturday even after social media sites flagged the video as deceptive.

Dan Scavino, the White House director of social media, shared the video on Saturday of Biden speaking at an event in St. Louis, Missouri. The clip cuts off Biden mid-sentence, making his actual comment — "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" — sound like he was saying, "We can only reelect Donald Trump."

My question is why didn't Twitter and Facebook completely remove the video...........................

1. Right Wing media

I'm seeing a lot of Twitter accounts with Roses and Flames that are promoting it as well.

2. Is that a Russian platform.......................

3. I don't know where the Roses and Flames started

But Berner accounts have them - the flame makes sense, not sure the story behind the roses.

6. First time I heard of the platform.................first thing that came to me................

4. not just the right wing

A family member who supports Bernie sent it to me too.

I absolutely do not think she did it to deliberately spread misinformation--she simply believed it was real, and since she prefers Bernie, it confirmed what she was already thinking.

5. I understand Twitter removed it.
