The video Cardillo amplified was originally posted by Twitter user Leni. Cardillo's tweet was amplified by conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt's producer and other right-wing figures.
Many people pointed out that this footage was manipulated, including Biden staffer Parker Butler, who shared the original video showing that the sign actually read “Text MN to 30330."
After being called out, Cardillo admitted the video was manipulated but claimed that it was “telling."
The manipulated video was also shared by RedState. A RedState author also shared a screenshot of Leni's tweet on Facebook.
