The original theme of the video was “Guard Congress, Protect Taiwan,” DPP spokesperson Lee Yen-jong (李晏榕) told a news conference in Taipei, calling on supporters to vote for the party to help it retain its legislative majority. The video, released last week, had 200,000 viewers in just one day and thousands of shares, she said. A professional team seems to have been behind the doctored version, as sound clips from Tsai’s speeches were spliced into the video, Lee said. The party is gathering evidence and is not ruling out filing charges against the person or people behind the doctored video, she said. The DPP condemns the behavior and calls on the public to “support the DPP if they want to keep their current lifestyle,” Lee said.
