Seattle TV employee fired after doctored footage of Trump's Oval Office speech

A Seattle TV station aired doctored footage of Trump's Oval Office speech. The employee has been fired.

The city's Fox affiliate showed Trump with a larger-than-normal head. His skin had a Cheetos-orange tint. Trump's tongue hung out of his mouth between sentences



On Tuesday night, an estimated 43.3 million Americans hunkered down to watch President Donald Trump make an Oval Office pitch for his border wall. With the federal government shutdown stretching into its third week and Congress deadlocked on the issue, the address represented a pivotal moment in the immigration hawk’s presidency.

But viewers in the Seattle area got a little more than they expected.

The city’s Fox affiliate, Q13, beamed out doctored footage of Trump’s Tuesday address, according to the Seattle Times. The station’s broadcast showed Trump with a larger-than-normal head. His skin had a Cheetos-orange tint. And during his speech, the president’s tongue hung out of his mouth between sentences. It is unclear if the footage ran live as Trump was giving his speech, or was replayed in later broadcasts.
