WSU football coach Mike Leach tweets doctored President Obama video from 2014

PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State University head football coach Mike Leach spent Father's Day tweeting about a doctored video of a 2014 speech President Barack Obama made to the European Union in Belgium.

Leach's original tweet referenced a video that isolated a statement in which Obama said, "ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs."

However, the video Leach tweeted leaves out the rest of Obama's statement in which he describes how that "alternate vision" threatens ideals that govern many countries in Europe and the United States. Click here to read the full text from Obama's speech.

Leach has since deleted his original tweet, but it can be seen in the screenshot below:
