Trump Mocks Biden With Altered Apology Video

Rebecca Morin of Politico wrote:President Donald Trump on Thursday mocked Joe Biden by sharing a doctored video of the former vice president creeping up on himself and grabbing his shoulders, using the video Biden had posted a day earlier to address allegations of unwelcome contact.

The video posted on the president’s personal Twitter account pokes fun at Biden’s pledge to be more respectful of people’s personal space.

“I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say you can do this,” Biden says in the video, with images of the former vice president creeping behind him and getting closer to himself.

The video, which was shared to Trump’s 59.5 million followers, goes on to edit an image of Biden grabbing the potential 2020 candidate’s shoulder during his continued remarks.

The edited image in the video appears to be taken from a viral image of Biden holding the shoulders of Stephanie Carter, the wife of former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter. Stephanie Carter recently said she was comfortable with the interaction.

Along with the video tweet, the president wrote: “WELCOME BACK JOE!”
