This tweet is correct. I didn’t actually share the viral Feinstein video, but I did respond to it, and watching the entire thing, I have a different response. It’s a much more complicated, nuanced back-and-forth. Not perfect, but not worthy of online outrage.

3. Any idea who posted the edited video? N/T

[SidDithers]

6. Waleed Shahid is all over it...

Check out his twitter timeline.

Same guy who posted, and deleted this:





These are the "Justice Dems"

7. Who uses children to try to score political points?

[Demsrule86]

37. Juustice Democrats...

Waleed Shahid is a Justice Democrat spokesperson...everything he does is suspect. He has written extensively on how bad the Democratic Party is but not the GOP go figure. Could it be that the Justice so called Democrats take money from Republicans? Eye on the ball people...no Green Dream is possible without winning elections. And to send kids to protest at Feinstein's office like she is stopping this legislation is dishonest and typical of Justice (not) Democrats. I can't stand any of them.

40. Destroy Democrats...they are funded by Republicans and Hadid has written articles and books

trashing Democrats in publications like the Nation which I no longer read. He is a spokesman for Justice Democrats.

Not well received by the looks of it.

Thanks for the tweet, Durham!

18. I knew you would enjoy it.

Thanks for bringing all those response over to DU.

A lot of people seem to be asking - Who does she think she is?

20. It's unreal! Exactly who in the hell

does she think she is..? "..cheap seats.." omg.

How does she not know ... oh, never mind.

[Demsrule86]

39. It is really this simple. There is no chance to pass such a bill. Thus it's sole effect is to

divide and conquer Democrats...the irony is if they succeed. They never get a bill as the consequences are electing Republicans...they give the Republicans a way to demonize our party and candidates. And a doctored video yet...scum. One should never trust anything Justice (not) Democrats (take money from the GOP) ever put out again.

4. This needs to be exposed and investigated.

No excuse for these underhanded attacks to create false narratives.

[pazzyanne]

19. All I needed to hear was Cenk Uygur is involved with Justice Democrats

to form my opinion. Cenk Uygur is a rabble rouser and promotes some pretty questionable ideas IMO.

[revmclaren]

5. K & R... For the truth!

Seems a lot of people are back to believe lies and to bash Democrats.



Keep calling them out and posting the truth DUers.

ONLY!!! 2019 and beyond.

[KitSileya]

10. It's Justice Dems who are trying their hand at o'keefing Feinstein.

Think Senator Sanders and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez will disavow them for this hit job? Their campaigns are/were very tightly linked to the so-called Justice Dems.

I have no hope the people on DU who fell for the edited video will actually apologize for their behavior. Kudos to those who weren't so ideologically blinded that they saw the bad editing job rather than gleefully seizing on the affirmation of their own preconceptions about Feinstein, tho!

[Cha]

14. BS & AOC should say something about

justice democrats editing this viral vid to make Senator Feinstein look bad, but I have no clue what hey will do.

[Grasswire2]

11. so is the NYT story correct?

12. Not if based on a selectively edited video.

15. No

17. AOC is in charge!!

21. In charge of what?

26. It's only 13 and a half minutes n/t

[True Blue American]

32. I watched the unedited video

The kids were excited. Feinstein repeated several times there was no money to pay for the bill.

She was polite,explained her position and in no way was she rude.

Thanks for the unedited version.

[Grasswire2]

28. the lesson: We are so vulnerable to attack by shiny objects and ratfu%ckery

Look how fast DiFi was smeared. Most people will believe the smear and never hear of the way it went down.

[quickesst]

29. Defend the video Ocasio Cortez and her crew put together all you want....

.... but the bottom line is it was a cheap underhanded thing to do. And while I'm at it, you would think that after the jussie Smollett debacle with everyone and their mother jumping in to defend him 5 minutes after it became public, it would have been a valuable lesson learned. Apparently, it turned out not to be. Whether attacking or defending, it seems there are those who remain eager to jump the gun in a mad dash to stick their foot in their mouth.

[True Blue American]

33. I had never seen Empire

But last night flicking through umpteen stations I chanced upon Cleo TV. Watched an episode.

Worst part is that Jesse is a pretty good actor and decent singer.

Now he sits in jail. Really a shame just because he became greedy.

[Ms. Toad]

42. I suggested that was the case last night.

It felt as if we were being dropped in near the end of a more robust conversation - and it felt like a drop in visit when she had other events scheduled.

Both of those turned out to be true.

[wellst0nev0ter]

43. Watched the unedited video

Feinstein was either being pointedly condescending or defending her appeasement of Repuke ecoterrorists throughout. Neither the full video or the edited video puts her in a good light.

[yardwork]

45. I am disgusted by the people who created this falsehood.

Manipulating children, a hit job on a long-time Democratic leader who has dedicated her life to progressive causes, maliciously edited video, this is on par with the worst right-wing smears on Planned Parenthood and Acorn. Swiftboating.

This does NOTHING to help the environment.

I've lost all respect for Alexandria Octavio-Cortez and the so-called Justice Democrats.

We are not going to allow this kind of bullshit to happen again in this election. No way.

[m-lekktor]

46. I don't see what additional context could make those ugly words any better.

But keep on spinning!

[lapucelle]

50. Like you, I do not see see ugly words. I see propaganda.

I don't see ugly words.

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position. It is a kind of fallacy of selective attention, the most common example of which is the confirmation bias

Propaganda is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception.

What kind of people use children in a doctored video to advance an agenda?

Have a donut.

[wellst0nev0ter]

56. Shorter videos go viral

that's life.

[lapucelle]

57. That's not life...that's propaganda.

Funny how some people seem to be OK with it.

Who uses children in a doctored video to advance an agenda>

[wellst0nev0ter]

60. The full video does not vindicate her

At least not in the way you like. The only positive in the unedited video was Feinstein offering the girl an internship. Otherwise, she was condescending and dismissive throughout.

66. Of course it Does..

51. It doesn't

It's just a convenient angle to pretend it was edited misleadingly or something.

Guaranteed if the full video was the only one posted they'd find a reason to say that wasn't legit.

[lapucelle]

58. I agree with you that the video was edited misleadingly.

It's just a convenient angle to pretend it was edited misleadingly or something.

59. lol

[VarryOn]

52. I look at it as she's not talking to the kids but rather the adults who set them up...

to go create the scene. The Senator knew what was happening and was pissed, and it shows.

Shes one of the great senators we have and look how they treat her.

[emulatorloo]

53. Of course.

Thanks for posting

[CBHagman]

54. I couldn't help but wonder if the initial video was yet another effort to divide us...

...especially when I saw ageist rhetoric attached to some of the comments. People who actually want to get things done know they have to have a path to success, not just create disruption.

[Horizens]

55. Who Edited the Video?

Does anyone know for sure who edited the video. I want to write about this on other venues need to have my facts right.
