Donald Trumps team hammers Twitter and calls Joe Bidens campaign scared as hell over

DONALD Trump’s team has blasted Joe Biden claiming the Democrat is “scared as hell” over a video which Twitter branded “manipulated”.

The footage, posted online by Trump comms chief Dan Scavino, shows Biden fumbling his words and appearing to endorse the Republican’s “re-election.”

However, the end of the clip, which was also retweeted by Trump, was cut off before the end of the Democratic frontrunner’s sentence.

The Trump campaign has now sent a scathing letter to Twitter after the social network labelled the video “manipulated media.”

They contend that Biden’s own staff have recently uploaded "doctored and deceptively edited" footage including one clip which falsely claims Trump called white supremacists “very fine people”.

Trump campaign boss Andrew Clark told Fox News: “The Biden campaign is scared as hell that voters will see the flood of unedited and embarrassing verbal stumbles that will continue go viral if ‘Status Quo Joe’ is the nominee.

“Twitter shouldn’t be an enforcement arm of Joe Biden’s campaign strategy, but if they choose to police every video clip they must hold his own campaign to the same standard.”

In the "manipulated" video, Biden is heard telling his supporters in St Louis: "Excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump."

Twitter implemented its new policy, which labels tweets with "manipulated" or "synthetic media", on March 5.

The new rules state: "You may not deceptively share synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm".

However the video featuring Biden has since had the warning removed.

The tag was applied on Sunday afternoon, only after the clip had been viewed 5.8 million times.

Twitter said it was not showing when people searched for the tweet or clicked into it, but only when it was seen in timelines.

A Twitter spokesman said the company was working on a fix.

The video was also posted on Scavino's Facebook page, where it had about one million views.

Biden's campaign slammed the social giant for showing the clip on its platforms without labels.

His campaign manager, Greg Schultz, said: "Facebook won't say it, but it is apparent to all who have examined their conduct and policies: they care first and foremost about money and, to that end, are willing to serve as one of the world's most effective mediums for the spread of vile lies."
