19-second video of Zelensky goes viral. See what was edited out

A viral video of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky takes his remarks out of context to wrongly make it sound like he demanded that Americans send their sons and daughters to fight in the war in Ukraine. CNN's Daniel Dale breaks down why the dramatic excerpt is not what it seems. #CNN #News

It’s bad enough when your crazy uncle falls for edited video on facebook. When your congressman falls for it and goes as far to issue a public statement on it before asking his staff to look into it, it’s pathetic and dangerous.

As an ordinary American who actually watched the conference with Pres. Zelenskyy, I am appalled by our politicians who clearly didn't. It's one thing to be incompetent, it's another when you mislead people whether on purpose or not.

Why don't CNN journalists go and fight for Ukraine 😂

[wintensity]

CNN would know a lot about editing and leaving things out 🤣🤣🤣

[dalis]

Those politicians who believed it and reacted immediatelly without checking it out should resign - they've just shown how incompetent and actually dangerous they are.

"If you come across a sensational but short clip on social media, it's always a good idea to look for the extended footage". Important advice.

With all the shopping sprees that his wife does, maybe she could buy him a suit.

Full clip changes everything. Context is paramount as always.

It's scary how a politician who usually has a team to check everything before stating a statement, falls into this trick. Just imagine how they decide on passing and amending laws.

Also has been incorrectly translated. If you look at the translation in detail it makes logically no sense.

People didn’t fall for this because they’re dumb, they fell for it because it’s what they wanted to hear… which is much worse.

People are easy to manipulate; thinking is hard. Too hard for some people. They prefer 16 second clips that fit their warped world view, and fall straight into the trap set for them by people who should know better.

The Ukraine version of Mr Bean running the Muppet Show.

It's good that the misleading short clip was removed but the scary part is for a government official to jump to a conclusion without researching everything about it first. This is extremely bad and how terrible consequences can occur.

Bro needs to lay off that coke he out of his mind 😂

[heinrichollbers]

The actual message is extremely important and it wasn’t received because of a criminal level of incompetence of those to whom it was delivered. This is serious.

[deerogatory]

We don’t have to do anything. Most Americans don’t support this war at all.

[katelemon]

Why has this guy got a Mansion in Florida?

[telebubba]

Anyone who believed that clip gets a diploma for insanity. There is absolutely no way Zelenski could have said anything like that.

This says much more about Mike Lee and Crowley than anything Zelensky actually said. You can learn much w/o someone speaking at all.
