Limbaugh Floats Lie that Biden’s Speech Was Taped

Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed Joe Biden’s DNC acceptance speech was so well-delivered because it was actually pre-taped and edited together for broadcast, Mediaite reports.

Said Limbaugh: “Now the assumption I think that everybody had going in was he was live because we didn’t hear anything else. And the time came for the speech to happen, the lights went down or came up whatever and here comes Biden and starts the speech. Some people are of the opinion that it had to be tape. And that it had to be taped in segments and the segments had to be edited together because plugs is not capable of 22 minutes even reading a prompter with no screw-ups, this is the prevailing theory.”

However, ABC News reports there were roughly three-dozen reporters present — along with TV camera crews and Secret Service agents — to watch the speech live.
