Facebook labels as ‘partly false’ an edited video of Joe Biden shared by Trump

Facebook on Monday applied a “partly false” label to an edited video of former US Vice-President Joe Biden, according to media reports.

The labelled video depicts the Democratic presidential frontrunner as saying “We can only re-elect Donald Trump” during a speech in Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday. However, the complete sentence was: “We can only re-elect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. It’s gotta be a positive campaign.”

The video was shared on President Trump’s verified Facebook page with the comment “I agree with Joe!” where it was flagged by one of Facebook’s fact-checking partners, the Verge reported. The post had over a million views on Facebook as of Monday.
