VIDEO: WH Censors French President Saying ‘ISLAMIST Terrorism’ (http://mrctv.org/blog/video-wh-censors-reference-islamist-terrorism-french-president)
Reporters caught the White House editing out references to Islamist terrorism from President Hollande's speech at an event. I wonder how the French people will react to their president being edited.
The White House website has censored a video of French Pres. Francois Hollande saying that “Islamist terrorism” is at the “roots of terrorism.”The White House briefly pulled video of a press event on terrorism with Pres. Obama, and when it reappeared on the WhiteHouse.gov website and YouTube, the audio of Hollande’s translator goes silent, beginning with the words “Islamist terrorism,” then begins again at the end of his sentence.
Even the audio of Hollande saying the words “Islamist terrorism” in French have, apparently, been edited from the video.
According to the official White House transcript (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2016/03/31/remarks-president-obama-and-president-hollande-france-after-bilateral) of Hollande’s remarks, Hollande refers to “Islamist terrorism.” The audio of the bold text in brackets is missing from the video – the only point in the video were the audio is absent:
“We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination.
“But we're also well aware that the roots of terrorism, [Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we're doing within the framework of the coalition.] And we note that Daesh is losing ground thanks to the strikes we've been able to launch with the coalition.”
