Brandy Jensen
Role at the time: Culture editor at Defector, in a commentary on the site
Response to this claim
Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed gave his victory speech in Arabic.
“It's so hard to figure out why they may have scripted, produced, edited, and released such a willful mischaracterization of a politician about whom they've spent a lot of time fear-mongering”
Why we used this label
Jensen calls the video a willful mischaracterization and mocks the outlet's correction, so we labeled it condemns.
