Trump campaign uses altered photos of Biden in new ad

An ad released by President Trump's re-election campaign falsely depicts former Vice President Joe Biden as "hiding" alone in his basement using an image edited to remove several other people.
The Trump campaign tweeted the ad Wednesday. The edited picture of Biden sitting on the floor of a house appears about five seconds in, as a narrator claims Biden is "hiding ... in his basement."
In fact, the original image depicts Biden and several other people in the home of Coralsville, Iowa, Mayor John Lundell in December 2019.
The photo was used and edited without permission, according to The Gazette, which published the original picture.
Photo editor Liz Martin, who took the picture, said about three dozen people were present at the event, and told the newspaper that Biden had sat on the floor so someone else could have his seat.
Iowa state Sen. Zach Wahls (D) noticed the altered image on Twitter, saying he was also present at Lundell's home that evening.
"I was literally in the room of my Iowa town mayor's Holiday Bowl watch party when this photo was taken," Wahls tweeted "Biden was neither hiding nor alone nor in 'the heart of Delaware' when this photo was taken."

Trump's playing dirty? How about liberal brainwashing in schools?
Conservatives have just started playing dirty. Liberals have been since the 60's.

What's wrong with hiding in your basement?

Apparently, not a thing.
Hell, if I were Biden, I'd refuse to even debate Orange Man.

"By the way what you most all know,but most people don't know, unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly diverse attitudes about different things"-Biden 20/20. Racist eh.

He'll pop his cork on stage during the debate. Trump is gonna troll his senile ass so hard.
