This video is doctored. It's slowed down and then sped up at the moment Acosta's hand comes down to make it look like he's doing a karate chop or something. This is shameful propaganda. It's Orwellian.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders should resign over this video.

The government is literally falsifying evidence to wrongfully accuse a private citizen of a crime in order to revoke his rights.

If you're not terrified, you should be.
