A screenshot of that broadcast is circulating on social media with a purported subtitle knocking Vance: “(single particular person clapping).”
“LMAO @cspan caption particular person for the win,” stated one Aug. 28 X put up sharing the picture.
“Even closed captioning doesn’t like JV Vance,” one other stated.
“Is there a Pulitzer for subtitles?” a third stated.
However C-SPAN aired no such caption, Robin Newton, a spokesperson for the community stated.
“We checked out captioning log,” Newton stated. “That picture is pretend. It by no means appeared on C-SPAN.”
A time stamp is seen within the picture — 10:10 am PT — and we discovered the exact second that seems within the screenshot, at concerning the 16:25 mark of this video on C-SPAN’s web site. Vance was connecting his opponent, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, to China and saying voters have to elect former President Donald Trump again into workplace. Just a few seconds later, across the 16:28 mark, a caption seems that claims, “(cheers and applause).”
We fee claims that C-SPAN aired the caption “single particular person clapping” False.
