7. I'm confused. The video I saw from Chris Hayes that Uncle Joe posted

has the full speech Platner gave about withdrawing from the race or at least what seems to be the whole thing and the order in which he said things was different than what was on a replay of what I think was tonight's actual Lawrence O'Donnell show which included some excerpts of the Platner video. I haven't seen that part of Lawrence's show posted here. The clips seemed strategically edited/ order changed in at least one spot on Lawrence's show making Platner look worse than what I heard on the full video. His withdrawal speech comes across better in the full version in what I think is the actual order in which he said things assuming no editing.

I know the powers that be have decided to drop him, I just think they should not be misleading about what he said.
