A Fox affiliate in Seattle has fired a staffer who the station says doctored a video of President Trump delivering his address from the Oval Office on Tuesday night.

The Hill reports the video shown on the station's newscast made it appear as if Trump was sticking his tongue out while delivering a speech on the government shutdown.

It was also manipulated to make the president's skin and hair appear more orange. 

Q13 news director Erica Hill in an emailed statement Thursday said the video “does not meet our editorial standards and we regret if it is seen as portraying the president in a negative light.”

The station said the employee responsible has been fired.
