Framing Biden

2020-01-02 20:09:38.829084+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A deceptively edited video of Joe Biden signals what’s coming

Toward the end, Biden circled back to English common law, and said this:

Folks, this is about changing the culture, our culture, our culture. It’s not imported from some African nation or some Asian nation. It’s our English jurisprudential culture, our European culture, that says it’s all right.

The edited video removes that first sentence and the very last clause, so all you hear is this:

Our culture, our culture. It’s not imported from some African nation or some Asian nation. It’s our English jurisprudential culture, our European culture.

As Daniel Dale pointed out, this is doubly dishonest: It removes both the larger and the immediate context.

Edit: Well, crap, apparently I've got some bugs in the formatting engine. All of that above is nested block quotes.
