OK? Ready? Here we go:

1. Go to npr.org
2. There you will see the article about the tweet.
3. Click on the article title.
4. Scroll waaaaaaay down and there you will find a link to the uncut version. It is the tweet but you do not have to be a tweeter to see it.
5. Don’t miss the shout from the guy in the cart at the beginning.

At the bottom of the video, it says the tweet has had 9.1M views. — And that number refers to the tweet, the whole tweet, and nothing but the tweet.

I assume from your post history that you do not like NPR, and no doubt consider it your nemesis — one of them anyway. But, c’mon, branch out. It’s all there on NPR. Both sides. Uncut.

You’re welcome,
Boomer
I'm aware the video can be seen in it's entirety on the internet. But virtually every media story on this mentions the "white Power" aspect, not the FUs and Nazis yelled at each cart.

Here's the video clip CNN ran, just the white power, none of the FUs

Trump 'white power' retweet: President thanks 'great people' shown in Twitter video - CNNPolitics

Bing search

Trump retweets white power from supporter

84,300,000 results, now check how many of those stories include mention or video of the obscenity hurling protesters at the parade

Jake Tapper interviewed 3 different people on the video, Scott, Azar and somebody else. He only talked about the white power part, not the FUs

The NPR article you cite has no mention of the obscenties being yelled out by the protesters:


A video shared by President Trump on Twitter Sunday includes a man who appears to be a Trump supporter saying "white power" in response to protesters. In the video, apparently taken at The Villages, a retirement community in Florida, people wearing Trump shirts and with Trump signs on their golf carts drive by protesters yelling insults at them and about the president.
In one exchange — eight seconds into the two-minute video — a white man holding a sign that says "Make America Sane Again," a reference to Trump's campaign slogan, yells: "Where's your white hood?" In response, a white man driving a golf cart with signs reading "Trump 2020" and "America First" yells back "


Yeah that's fair and balanced, it was only insults, not FU and Fing Nazis


your welcome
