This video is misleading, and it’s a good reminder that misinformation is easy to check.

So, how could you have investigated this clip to see whether it really shows @JoeBiden admitting to voter fraud? Just google what he said.

Searching for “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics” brought up a bunch of results, including articles from @washingtonpost, @USATODAY and @nytimes.

@nytimes and @USATODAY reported that Biden’s campaign said he meant to describe efforts fighting voter suppression.

@washingtonpost included more of the interview, which showed Biden accusing Trump of suppressing votes.

TIP - look at the full interview to see if clips are fair or misleading.

When I read the articles about this clip, I saw it was from an interview on @PodSaveAmerica, a pro-Dem media site. I found the interview - give it a look for the clip in context.

This video is pretty easy to debunk. It’s real, but it’s MISLEADING because it was edited out of context to make it seem like Biden was admitting to intentional voter fraud. That clearly is not what’s going on in the interview.

But millions already saw it. @RealDonaldTrump posted it to YouTube, his campaign & son @EricTrump shared it on Twitter, and it’s spread widely across social media.

There’ll be more misinfo like it. Stop & search when you come across something that might be edited out of context.
