Twitter flags Republican leader's video as 'manipulated' for altering disabled activist's words

Twitter flagged an inflammatory video by House Republican Whip Steve Scalise on Sunday for altering footage of a conversation between progressive activist Ady Barkan and Joe Biden. The video is now labeled as "manipulated media" in a tweet from Scalise, though remains online. The inflammatory video pulls in out-of-context quotes from a number of Democrats and activists, but appears to have crossed a line by altering Barkan's words from a portion of the conversation about policing reform.
