Disabled Ady Barkan is manipulated by @GOP @SteveSCalise-& gets a "manipulated media from Twitter...

Damn!! Twitter should take this down.

**Edit to add the first tweet"

What a loser @SteveScalise
is. Faking the voice of @AdyBarkan
in order to push racist violence that the current occupant of the White House is pushing. America, the manufacturing of this violence is intentional and the reason that people like Trump and Scalise should be fired.

Steve Scalise gets a ‘manipulated media’ tag from Twitter after doctoring the words of activist Ady Barkan, who has ALS and uses a computer to speak.

US House candidate, CA-28
My friend @AdyBarkan
lost his voice to ALS.

But not his courage and conviction to speak louder than ever.

Ady doesn’t need you to put fake words in his mouth for a political smear, @SteveScalise
.

You owe him an apology.

There's a clip here of @AdyBarkan, who has ALS and speaks via voice assistance, asking Biden about "re-directing" public safety funding. The clip alters the quote. It splices "for police" into it, using Barkan's artificial voice.

Replying to
@fred_guttenberg

@SteveScalise
and
@AdyBarkan
@jack
@TwitterVideo
@TwitterSupport

The time has come to suspend @SteveScalise
from Twitter. This is targeting a disabled person, doctoring videos, and sending a racist message. Certainly all are contrary to your guidelines?

OP's of tweets and retweet's replies (or whatever the hell it's called) confuse everybody. That's just what we need in these days when everything is otherwise so very clear.
And Yes! Scalise is a scumbag and it's unfortunate he occupies the space where there could be a useful entity. Off with his head!
