Someone offered the following explanation in the Twitter comments:
18 U.S.C. § 713 You can’t use the seal in any political ads.
My question is, does this qualify as a political ad? It's published by the DNC, sure, but it's a (seemingly) factual statement accompanied by a dry video clip.
"...for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department..."
Based on the wording here, it's possible the DNC is just trying to cover their asses. They're well acquainted with that practice.
Hmmm, could be. However I don't recall seeing any previous presidents (even in campaign ads) blur out the presidential seal. Well, it's a deliberate thing, so somebody somewhere deep in the bowels of the Democrap Party might know.
I don't recall seeing blurry seals before either. With the amount of political coverage in our times, you would think this practice of obscuring the seal would be common knowledge. It's a bit fishy.
I literally said these exact words before scrolling down. The first time if I’m not mistaken was from Joes Twitter now again from from the democrats Twitter. This is super creepy.
This is beginning to get weird. I've seen this blurred-out seal in several recent videos. WTAF are they doing that for?

Here's the U.S. Code in question: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/713

Hmm, could be that a blurred seal is a bad visual and most directors exclude it from the shots they choose?
One way to check would be compare videos of Trump and see if the same publisher done the same thing
Covering their asses because they know he's not potus
Strange time to start

They say the clip from Joe's Twitter originated from Dem twitter. It does but still seems super sketchy
Ahhh okay thanks for the heads up. Soo much bullshit to sift through. 😉
They're signaling that Obama or some other swamp creature is the real president
updoot to 17!
