(Bloomberg) -- Michael Bloomberg’s campaign posted an edited clip that offered an alternate-reality version of a moment in Wednesday’s debate, adding 21 seconds of silence to make it appear that his rivals didn’t have an answer to a question he raised.

In the 25-second video tweeted out Thursday morning, the former New York mayor is shown talking about his experience in business: “I’m the only one here I think that’s ever started a business. Is that fair?”

That part shows how it happened. But the video then cuts to Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Joe Biden looking like they are unable to answer. Bernie Sanders is shown looking like he’s about to speak, while Biden stares intently. Elizabeth Warren raises her hand, then lowers it, and the camera zooms in on Buttigieg again.

The actual pause after the question was two seconds.

The moment came one hour and 13 minutes into the debate, in which Bloomberg’s performance was widely panned. On Twitter, Bloomberg was roasted for posting the video.

Bloomberg also tweeted a unedited 26-second clip of him challenging Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for being a “millionaire with three houses.”

Warren, Sanders Raised Millions Off Debate (11:15 a.m.)

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are boasting that they turned their debate performances into cold hard cash.

Warren’s campaign said she raised more than $2.8 million Wednesday, calling it her best debate-day fundraising of the entire campaign. A Sanders spokesman said he raised $2.7 million from nearly 150,000 donors over the course of the day.

The numbers can’t be verified because candidates aren’t required to disclose information on contributors who give $200 or less, and campaign finance reports won’t be submitted until March 20.

Strong debate performances can boost donations. Amy Klobuchar got a $2 million boost after her strong performance in the New Hampshire debate on Feb. 7.

Other campaigns haven’t announced fundraising totals spurred by the debate, although some prefer to report numbers 12 or 24 hours after a major event. -- Bill Allison
