A surrogate for Joe Biden‘s presidential campaign was, in her words in a group chat, “forced to resign” on Monday from Pennsylvania Young Democrats after promoting a doctored video of fellow 2020 contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and for allegedly sharing anti-Semitic tweets about him and his online supporters.
Lindy Li previously served as the treasurer for the Pennsylvania Young Democrats, a position she has since admittedly resigned.

Li later confirmed that she resigned in a Twitter post–but disputed the circumstances surrounding her departure.
“Lindy’s doctored video, which was edited to appear that Sanders was praising Communist dictators, has 2.5 million views,” Agustin added in another tweet which contained screenshots of two allegedly antisemitic tweets authored and retweeted by Li.
“According to leaked messages Lindy sent in a private pro-Biden group chat, the Biden campaign knows about all of this,” she added–suggesting that Biden’s recent public denunciation of Sanders’ online supporters was coming from a place of cynicism and dishonesty.

That's a shame.
The MSM keeps trying to conflate ‘edited video’ with deep fake, and/or defining ‘edited’ as this means something isn’t real or true.
Every video is edited in some form, everything the MSM does, be it print, audio or video is edited before being published. Assuredly, you can declare this an ‘edited article’ about an edited video about Bernie being the communist he is.
Exactly. The audio of the Zimmerman 911 call was “edited” ( in a way that totally changed the meaning of what he said) but the GOP mashup of the SOTU where they keep replaying the scene of Pelosi tearing up the speech was “doctored”’.
“Biden Surrogate”
Not sure if being a ‘surrogate’ for Biden is something that I’d want my daughters doing, but to each their own, anyway.
Might also be worth noting that this babe was born in Mainland China (don’t know her citizenship).
Them Rats sure know how to rip each other up in quest for the Big Cheese.
Speaking of cheese it’s in the dairy farmers realm of skillful production. Ain’t that right arrogant Nanny Bloomers?
A Democratic forced to resign for lying...... that’s a 1st!
>>“Lindy’s doctored video, which was edited to appear that Sanders was praising Communist dictators, has 2.5 million views,”
Sanders HAS praised Castro and Chavez.
The same lying media redacts Trump’s comment about ‘good people’ on both sides of the statue protest.
They repeatedly omit his “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally” remark.
Are ANY of the honest?
Yes. And one of the most satisfying things about this whole election cycle is that Biden premised his entire candidacy on the doctored version of that quote.
Biden has a long history of distorting quotes:
Senator Biden was the first questioner. Instead of the softball questions he’d promised to ask, he threw a beanball straight at my head, quoting from a speech I’d given four years earlier at the Pacific Legal Foundation and challenging me to defend what I’d said. ”I find attractive the arguments of scholars such as Stephen Macedo, who defend an activist Supreme Court that would strike down laws restricting property rights.” That caught me off guard, and I had no recollection of making so atypical a statement, which shook me up even more. “Now, it would seem to me what you were talking about,” Senator Biden went on to say, “is you find it attractive the fact that they are activists and they would like to strike down existing laws that impact on restricting the use of property rights, because you know, that is what they write about.”
Since I didn’t remember making the statement in the first place, I didn’t know how to respond to it. All I could say in reply was that “it has been some time since I have read Professor Macedo … But I don’t believe that in my writings I have indicated that we should have an activist Supreme Court.” It was, I knew, a weak answer. Fortunately, though, the young lawyers who had helped prepare me for the hearing had loaded all of my speeches into a computer and at the first break in the proceedings they looked this one up. The senator, they found, had wrenched my words out of context. I looked at the text and saw that the passage he’d read out loud had been immediately followed by two other sentences: “But the libertarian argument overlooks the place of the Supreme Court in a scheme of separation of powers. One does not strengthen self-government and the rule of law by having the non-democratic branch of the government make policy.” The point I’d been making was the opposite of the one that Senator Biden claimed I had made.

Superb story thanks for posting. It makes Biden’s slow-motion car-wreck so much more satisfying to savor.
