(Warning: this article contains profanity that some readers may find offensive)A clip of U.S. President Joe Biden attending his granddaughter Maisy Biden’s May 15 graduation at the University of Pennsylvania is circulating with altered audio of anti-Biden chants. A tweet sharing the altered clip has been viewed 1.1 million times at the time of writing (here). The crowd in the edited clip can be heard chanting “fuck Joe Biden.” However, no such chant can be heard in the original raw pool video available to media outlets, including Reuters, and a Reuters witness present at the scene heard no such chanting. Similar clips of the raw video lacking the added chant can be viewed on Twitter, where they were published by the Voice of America’s Chinese-language account (here) and by RNC Research, a Twitter handle that describes itself as “managed by the Republican National Committee” (here) (here). Anti-Biden chants have been digitally added to raw footage of President Joe Biden attending his granddaughter’s graduation at the University of Pennsylvania.
