A video shared by President Donald Trump is the first to be labeled “manipulated media” by Twitter.

The White House’s head of social media, Dan Scavino, shared a video showing Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden edited to look like an endorsement for the incumbent: “We can only re-elect Donald Trump.”

“I agree with Joe!" Trump wrote on Twitter, retweeting Scavino.

According to CNN, the clip was taken out of context from Biden’s campaign speech in Kansas City, Missouri, on Saturday. The former vice president and Syracuse University College of Law alumnus appeared to stumble over a line, and the manipulated version cut out the second part of Biden’s sentence.

“Excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. It’s gotta be a positive campaign," Biden actually said, calling for an end to “negative attacks” against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primary race.

Biden’s campaign has used similar phrasing opposing “re-electing” Trump on social media, such as “If we give Donald Trump four more years in the White House, our planet may never recover" and “If you re-elect Donald Trump, he’s going to cut Medicare and Social Security. I’m going to protect and expand these benefits.”

The misleading version promoted by Trump was viewed 6 million times and retweeted thousands of times by Sunday morning.

The Washington Post reports Twitter labeled the video as “manipulated media” on Sunday afternoon, aiming to remove it from users’ timelines and searches. However, a Twitter representative told Business Insider that the social media company was working to fix a glitch after users reported still seeing the post.

Twitter announced last month that it would label “deepfake” videos and other deceptively altered media as “manipulated,” according to TechCrunch. Tweets containing manipulated or synthetic media will only be removed if they’re likely to cause harm, the company said, including threats to safety or efforts to silence people, such as voter suppression or intimidation in the upcoming election.

Scavino’s video is the first to be labeled “manipulated media” by Twitter.

Scavino, who also incorrectly claimed Biden made the comments in St. Louis, not Kansas City, defended his tweet early Monday morning: “The video was NOT manipulated.” President Trump retweeted Scavino again.

Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates told CNN that Trump “has made it inescapably clear that he’s terrified of Joe Biden.”

“It’s not surprising that Trump’s re-election campaign is resorting to more disinformation about the Vice President -- after all, Trump himself is so panicked about Joe Biden that he got himself impeached trying to force a foreign country to lie about him,” Bates said.
