For a "deceptively edited" video of Joe Biden that Dan Scavino tweeted and Trump retweeted: politico.com/news/2020/03/08/manipulated-media-twitter-biden-video-124116

On Saturday, the White House social media director, Dan Scavino, tweeted a video of the 2020 Democratic candidate telling supporters in Missouri, “We cannot win this re-election, excuse me, we can only re-elect Donald Trump.”

By the end of the night, Trump had shared the video twice, writing, “I agree with Joe!” It also got a retweet from the Trump campaign manager, Brad Parscale.

However, the Scavino tweet — which was viewed almost 5 million times as of Sunday evening — had cut off the rest of the sentence.
