“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”
This anonymous quote, often incorrectly attributed to the Greek philosopher Socrates, seems to nevertheless sum up the entire strategy of President Joe Biden and his team to combat the Trump phenomenon.
But while political spin and dirty tactics are unfortunately commonplace during election campaigns, especially on the Democratic side, the situation becomes much more concerning when major media outlets become active participants in spreading deceptions.
The Biden campaign attempted to push another myth by posting a brief clip of Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump speaking in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The seven-second clip posted by the Biden-Harris HQ social media accounts showed Trump saying, “The Democrats say, ‘Please don’t call them animals. They’re humans.’ I said, ‘No, they’re not humans. They’re not humans. They’re animals.”
The caption read, “Democrats said please don’t call immigrants animals. I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals.”
Social media users were quick to point out the clip was edited to mislead viewers.
The full Video makes it clear Trump was referring not to all immigrants but only to illegal immigrants who commit murder when he used the word “animal.”
