The Trump campaign’s egregious editing of a CNN clip - The Washington Post

Regular readers know that The Fact Checker has been keeping close tabs on misleading or manipulated campaign videos. We have faulted both the Biden campaign and the Trump campaign for using snippets of quotes in misleading ways or out of context. But this Trump ad, “American Comeback,” is unusual because CNN has written a cease-and-desist letter to President Trump’s reelection campaign, saying that remarks of two of its stars have been edited to give a false impression. The network said it would refuse to air the ad. The campaign rejected the complaint, saying the ad was “demonstrably accurate.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/05/06/trump-campaigns-egregious-editing-cnn-clip/
