I point it out because I dislike seeing the side I identify with using the tactics of the side I don’t identify with.
If the left wants to use misinformation and lies they are little better than Nazis spreading blood libel.
Additionally this strategy is incredibly dumb in his particular instance. When you misinform you are gambling that people viewing the claim won’t attempt to look at the evidence. In this case the evidence is a single clip that is an obvious example of a hack. Many people are likely to investigate it. Many people on the fence will think you are liars, all Nick’s supporters will reinforce their belief that the other side are liars, and many of your supporters will think you are liars.
