What evidence manipulation did MAGA Republicans use at the USA Fencing hearing?

0.229 - 16.805 Ben Meiselas

MAGA Republicans are at it again, altering evidence during congressional hearings to try to attack witnesses as part of whatever their agenda is. So here's what went down this past week. The MAGA Republicans held a Doge committee hearing.

17.325 - 37.353 Ben Meiselas

where they subpoenaed the head of United States fencing, like the sport fencing, because the MAGA Republicans saw some story on Fox about a transgender fencer, so they wanted to go and attack the head of USA Fencing, even though they received zero federal funding. So here's what went down.

37.673 - 54.883 Ben Meiselas

The MAGA Republicans were trying to pretend that the head of USA fencing who received all of these death threats as a result of the doxing from Fox and the MAGA Republicans, that he was giving the middle finger in a selfie like F you, America. And he was actually holding up two fingers.

But what the MAGA Republicans did in the photo was they cropped out one finger to make it look like he was giving the middle finger to the American people. Now, fortunately, Democratic Congresswoman Stansberry had the actual photo. She was ready to go. And she showed what the MAGA Republicans were doing here to lie, deceive and defame this witness, the head of USA Fencing.

It's like, why am I even here? Why are you attacking me? Here, play this clip.

86.231 - 96.654 Transgender Fencer Witness

I had already spent the money on competition fees and new equipment and spent hours training. I felt trapped. I had been defrauded of a women's tournament and sold a lie by USA Fencing.

97.731 - 110.418 Reporter

Now, one big fight, Martha, has been over a picture of the chairman. Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene actually brought it up during the hearing, and Democrats said this was a big misrepresentation. Watch this.

111.899 - 119.424 Chairperson

Mr. LaFelte came in here today saying that this is game day. You're right, Mr. LaFelte, this is game day.

120.049 - 128.051 Democratic Congress Member Garcia

The document that you have up behind you is a misrepresentation of the actual post. It appears that you're trying to misrepresent a witness here.
