Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Here's the Truth About Bernie Sanders' Deceptively-Edited Barack Obama Ad
Mediaite article with video clips:
https://www.mediaite.com/news/heres-the-truth-about-bernie-sanders-deceptively-edited-barack-obama-ad/
That last shot, in which Obama says Thats right, feel the Bern!, is from his 2016 Democratic National Convention speech, right after hed told the crowd to vote straight up and down the Democratic ticket which included then-nominee Hillary Clinton.
The shot was enough to fool several media outlets who pegged the speech as the source of the quotes that preceded it while others simply didnt try to identify them but in fact, those quotes werent even made by President Obama.
The first part of the ad, during which Obama says Bernie is somebody who has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes and praises Bernies great authenticity and great passion comes from a January 2016 podcast interview with Glenn Thrush, during which he diplomatically praised both then-candidates for the Democratic nomination and in which Obama notes he doesnt know Sanders as well as he knows Clinton.
But the part Sanders knitted together with that clip from the 2016 DNC is actually made up of quotes from Senator Barack Obama, when he campaigned for Sanders Senate bid on March 10, 2006. The snippets were cut out of a segment in which Obama ribbed Sanders about his off-the-rack couture, and offered the praise quoted in the ad for Sanders and Peter Welch.

The truth always comes out so why even bother trying to be deceptive, in a case like this anyway.
