White House says ‘technical issue’ caused omission of ‘Islamist terrorism’ from video

It appeared this week that the White House censored a video of the French president to omit him saying the words “Islamist terrorism” during a speech at a bilateral meeting, but officials claim a technical glitch caused the ill-timed dropped audio.

The Media Research Center, a media watchdog, reported Friday that the White House had removed a video of French President Francois Hollande speaking at a press event on terrorism with President Obama.

When the video reappeared on the White House website and YouTube, the audio of Mr. Hollande’s translator goes silent just as he says the words “Islamist terrorism,” then begins again at the end of his sentence.

Mr. Hollande, speaking in French, was also muted as he uttered the phrase.

A White House official told the New York Post that the audio gap was the result of a technical error.

“Nothing was edited out,” the official told the Post. “A technical issue with the audio during the recording of President Hollande’s remarks led to a brief drop in the audio recording of the English interpretation.

Ya, and if you believe this, than you also believe Obama is an American Christian, and Hillary Clinton tells the truth.

Fortunately most Americans have by now realized that we cannot believe what our government tells us. This BS lie is just one more instance of their fantastic ability to fabricate and alter the truth.
