Once again Faux "news" fakes a video, to smear someone.

Last edited Tue May 7, 2019, 07:35 PM - Edit history (2)

Now it's Buttigieg.

Fox News shows use cropped quote to smear presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg

Edited quote from right-wing smear merchant:

On the afternoon of May 6, Daily Wire personality (and purveyor of wildly misleading clips on Twitter) Ryan Saavedra tweeted a video of presidential hopeful and South Bend, IN, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Saavedra wrote, “Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg today in South Carolina: America ‘was never as great as advertised.’” Washington Post political reporter Dave Weigel quickly pointed out that Buttigieg had gone on to say “especially for marginalized Americans.”

Actual Buttigieg quote:

Actual quote here, in a reference to Trump's "great again" slogan: "That past that he is promising to return us to was never as great as advertised, especially for marginalized Americans."
