What do you mean by edited or as others are saying doctored video? Conway replied. He put his hands on her and grabbed the mic back or he did not and he clearly did.
No! Wallace interrupted. He clearly did [keep the mic] but the video was altered and there are experts who have looked at it to make it look speeded up.
But thats not altered, Conway sighed. Thats sped up. They do it all the time in sports to see if theres actually a first down or a touchdown. So I have to disagree with the, I think, overwrought description of this video being doctored as if we put somebody elses arm in there.
He should have apologized to that young aide, Conway said of Acosta. You have to show respect to the White House, to the presidency, the president. And I think what Acosta did was very unfair to the rest of the press corps.

What a fucking liar. Just like her lying shithole boss.
