The quote actually comes from a March 2019 speech in which Biden expressed his regrets for the role he played in the Clarence Thomas hearings
Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images Though deep fakes haven’t quite entered our dystopian mediascape just yet, selective edits are proving to be a problem, as shown by a deceptively-cut video of Joe Biden suggesting an idea consistent with white nationalism, which made the rounds on social media on Wednesday night. “Our culture is not imported from some African nation, or some Asian nation,” Biden says in the clip. “It’s our English jurisprudential culture. Our European culture.
Out of context, the statement fits comfortably within the confines of white nationalist rhetoric, an idea more likely to be expressed by a candidate promoted by Steve Bannon, to pick an example at random. But the quote is from a March 2019 speech in which Biden expressed his regrets for the role he played in the Clarence Thomas hearings — without actually apologizing to Anita Hill.
Videos stripped of their context were a frequent concern last year, including an RNC cut of a comment by Kirsten Gillibrand suggesting the New York senator wanted to expand social security to undocumented immigrants.
