"It is critical that the Biden campaign be held to the same standard it is demanding apply to others," a Trump campaign official told Twitter.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's reelection campaign accused Twitter of bias and double standards after the company labeled an edited video clip of former Vice President Joe Biden as"manipulated media."
"Turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for, because we cannot reelect, we cannot win this reelection. Excuse me, we can only reelect Donald Trump," he says before the clip cuts him off midsentence. Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, who was one of Biden's rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, applauded Twitter's move to label the video.
"We can't sit by and lose this country to Donald Trump," read the tweet, which contained a Super Tuesday ad. The video includes about 15 seconds of short clips taken from past Trump remarks, which Glassner says were"presented deceptively and out of context."

"Of course, this is not the first time the Biden campaign has used editing tricks to manipulate video and feed misinformation to the American people," Glassner said."If Twitter is not seeking to protect Joe Biden, we urge it to correct its apparent oversight and apply its standards equally across the board."
