A video of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden that was selectively edited to falsely suggest he made racist remarks during a recent speech made the rounds Thursday on social media, raking in more than a million views on one tweet alone.
Earlier in the discussion, Biden, when asked about his work with women and sexual assault victims, talked about the need to change an entrenched “cultural problem,” that dates back centuries, noting that in the 1300s many wives were being beaten to death by their husbands without repercussions.
Biden’s campaign confirmed to The Associated Press that the presentation in the edited video was inaccurate.
It’s not the first time Biden has spoken out about how violence against women dates back to English common law.
On March 26, 2019, Biden spoke at a New York event where he honored young people working to fight against sexual assault on college campuses.
“It’s an English jurisprudential culture, a white man’s culture,” he said at the March event. “It’s got to change.”
