Key Points:

- The White House Rapid Response 47 account mistakenly accused Torabi of obscuring the photo and insulted him by calling him a "dumb a--," when it was actually Vance's placement of the board that caused the issue.
- MeidasTouch quickly pointed out the error, noting that the White House had inadvertently insulted Vance by blaming Torabi for the unclear footage.
- The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment on the incident.
