A viral video on Twitter shows Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden saying he has “one thing to say” before playing a song titled “F*** tha Police:”
The video was even shared twice by President Donald Trump.

Joe Biden has just ONE thing to say and it ain’t good. Listen to this https://t.co/3nE1hHF1uSThe video is, in fact, an edited clip from Biden’s Kissimmee, Florida, event, during which he played the song “Despacito,” a popular Spanish pop song, a move which prompted criticisms of pandering to Latino voters.

Thank you for fact-checking that.
I saw the original version first and it was pretty funny in cringey way. The new edition is just much better and hilarious. Biden seems more in rythym in the 2.0 version.
I'm not saying Trump is a mastermind but I do think he will put out some false information so left leaning fact checkers will correct the record. And in fact checking they will expose their leftist audience to facts they otherwise would not see.
I wonder how many on the left saw the original video before Trump tweeted the edited version? Now you can see the original embarrassing display all over the leftist networks. Of course if trump did something idiotic like the original clip the left would be playing it 24/7.
Another example of this is when trump said something like 2 people were shot in Chicago during obamas speech. Then the fact checkers jumped on the land mine and say things like "Chicago police records show no one was fatally shot in the city on Jan. 10, the day of Obama’s speech. There were five shootings, but none occurred while Obama was speaking."

Five shootings in one day huh? I mean to the extent you think it is important how many shootings there are in Chicago this fact check is suddenly sharing facts Trump thinks are important and they would not normally cover.
This happens so often I do start to wonder if it is intentional.
