Trump camp fires back after Twitter labels Biden video 'manipulated'
Fox News ^ | 9 Mar 2020 | Gregg Re

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump campaign has sent a scathing letter to Twitter's leadership after the platform took the unprecedented step of labeling one of its videos "manipulated media," saying that under the social media giant's new standard, Joe Biden's team has uploaded its own "doctored and deceptively edited" video as recently as last week.

“The Biden campaign is scared as hell that voters will see the flood of unedited and embarrassing verbal stumbles that will continue go viral if ‘Status Quo Joe’ is the nominee," Trump campaign rapid response director Andrew Clark told Fox News. "Twitter shouldn’t be an enforcement arm of Joe Biden’s campaign strategy, but if they choose to police every video clip they must hold his own campaign to the same standard.”

The confrontation began this the weekend when Trump communications director Dan Scavino tweeted an edited version of a Biden speech in which the former vice president appears to deliver a muddled and inadvertent endorsement of Trump. Scavino's clip, which the president later reposted, did not alter any of Biden's words, but it cut off before the conclusion of Biden's sentence at a rally in St. Louis. Conservatives called the video an obvious attempt to highlight Biden's verbal gaffes, and argued that no one would reasonably mistake it for a genuine Biden endorsement.

"Understandably, the Biden campaign has a strategic interest in intimidating social media companies into suppressing true and embarrassing video evidence of Joe Biden’s continued inability to communicate coherently—a sad truth that has been publicly noted by Democrats and media figures alike," Trump campaign chief operating officer Michael Glassner wrote in the missive to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, general counsel Vijaya Gadde, and public policy director Carlos Monje.

Worse has been done to PDJT on many occasions, and the Monica Media paid zero attention to our objections.

They are not going to kill the goose that lays the golden egg

If Trump wasn’t on Twitter it would have been totally dead three years ago

That d!ckhead never-Trumper Paul Singer, who is going for a hostile takeover of Tw*tter, would be much worse than Jack.

THAT is my guess.

The world and especially the tech world is a funny [odd] place.

An interesting experiment to see if Twitter can survive without VSGDJT.

They won’t cut him off, but they will probably shadow ban him

I personally cannot wait until Twatter bans or shadow bans PDJT and pisses off his 60,000,000+ followers.

The absolute fury that'll get unleashed on Twatter will be fun as f*ck to watch.

Guarandamntee it.

Activist investor trying to get Dorsey booted. It is caused enough of a problem he has canceled his planned move to Africa
