The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) filed an ethics complaint against Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), accusing him of “abusing taxpayer dollars to spread disinformation” by sharing a doctored video of activist Ady Barkan asking Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden about redirecting some police funds to alternative programs.
The DCCC, which is the House Democrats’ campaign arm, alleged that the video shared by Scalise had been modified “in an attempt to deceive voters.” The video had been edited by adding the words “for police” at the end of the phrase, uttered by Barkan, “but do you agree that we can redirect some of the funding?”
