Biden ad attacking Trump on coronavirus gets ‘four Pinocchios’ from WaPo

“This is a clear example of deceptive editing,” the fact checker said. “It edits out large portions of a video but still presents it as a complete narrative.”

By Washington Free Beacon, March 23, 2020:

A Joe Biden ad received the worst possible rating from the Washington Post fact-checker for attacking President Donald Trump with manipulated video.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee received “Four Pinocchios” for an ad that deceptively edited video of a Trump campaign rally to make it appear that the president called the coronavirus a hoax. In the ad, Trump can be seen saying “coronavirus,” followed immediately by “This is their new hoax.”

But as the Post noted, the Biden campaign cut out more than 120 words in between those two statements. In his comments, Trump was calling the Democratic politicization of coronavirus a “hoax,” not the virus itself:

“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs, you say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ they go ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue, they don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa, they can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes. One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since he got in. It’s all turning, they lost. It’s all turning, think of it, think of it. And this is their new hoax.”

“This is a clear example of deceptive editing,” the fact checker said. “It edits out large portions of a video but still presents it as a complete narrative. This effectively skews reality and leaves the viewer to wonder what or who related to coronavirus is, in fact, a hoax?”

There was another one where Biden had a false start that has since been purged.
He called the current Massachusetts governor “Charlie Parker,” a jazz saxophonist from the 1950s. Charlie Baker was elected governor of the commonwealth in 2014. He began the speech on coronavirus by touching his nose and brushing his upper lip.

Charlie Parker – one of the Jazz greats, but have my doubts about Charlie BAKER, who probably is just another corrupt political A-hole!

MA Gov. Charlie Baker (rhymes with FAKER) is the ultimate RINO’s RINO. When he first ran for governor he was seen as a conservative that would stand up to the true-blue politicians of the state.

WOW, were we, the voting public, DUPED. There is talk that he may run for a 3rd term, but as a (D), his true natural political self……

When a politician has nothing he lies. In Biden’s case, he needs his minions to do it for him because, well, he is just so far out of it. He would start off trying to talk about Trump but end up talking about himself.

All anyone has to do is make a video of all of Biden’s outright failures coming out of his mouth over the past 12 years. Of course, that may be more the length of an infomercial than a 30 second political spot on TV. Just a video of him sniffing hair, touchy-feely with all females he comes near, and really strange things he says to girls would come to a 20 minute highlight reel.
