What You Just Saw Didn't Happen: Obama, White House Deny That Biden Froze at Hollywood Fundraiser Saturday
Red State ^ | 06/16/2024 | Bob Hoge

Posted on 06/16/2024 9:03:23 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

You don’t need a news outlet to tell you what happened—see for yourself. Watch Joe Biden at the end of his talk with Barack Obama at Saturday night’s glitzfest of a fundraiser in Los Angeles and you decide whether you think it's normal behavior:

Biden freezes before Obama grabs his arm and leads him off stage. Yikes! 😳 pic.twitter.com/nCgAGitoQ6— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 16, 2024

RedState’s Nick Arama summed up her take on the moment:

Yikes is right. 

It's not normal that he just stood there and Obama then had to take his hand to lead him away. How could anyone vote for this? He did something similar at the Juneteenth celebration. But comparing the two as they walked off the stage only accentuated the problem. What's frightening too, is that the crowd claps, completely ignoring the issues. 


Biden Has Another Embarrassing Moment at Fundraiser—Obama Has to Intervene


You might think standing there, appearing to be in a daze, is perfectly normal, but many people do not.

The White House and Barack Obama (some would say they’re the same thing) were quick to respond and tell you that what you saw wasn’t what actually happened.

this did not happen https://t.co/QAPOCla3Sq— Eric Schultz (@EricSchultz) June 16, 2024

"This did not happen," Obama senior adviser Eric Shultz posted. Oh, well then what did? 

Meanwhile, Biden senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates sent a rather snippy response to the New York Post, the outlet that broke the Hunter “Laptop from Hell” story and was promptly censored for it:

“Fresh off being fact checked by at least 6 mainstream news organizations for lying about President Biden with cheap fakes, Rupert Murdoch’s sad little super pac, the New York Post, is back to disrespecting it’s readers and itself once again by pretending the President taking in an applauding crowd for a few seconds is somehow wrong,” Bates’s statement said. “Their ethical standards could deal with a little unfreezing.”

Notice the use of the term “cheap fakes.” Get used to it, because you’re likely to see a lot more use of it coming out of the Biden White House as we approach the election. A take-off on the term “deep fakes,” which refers to images created or manipulated with AI, its premise is the right-wing media are trying to deceive you by not showing you the full context of a video, manipulating its speed, or cropping it. 

They’re specifically moaning about clips disseminated after Biden’s disastrous D-Day performances, where the president wandered off during a photo shoot and just generally seemed off the reservation. The Washington Post was aghast that Republicans would dare publicize Biden’s mental frailty:

In edited videos, Republican officials and allies of former president Donald Trump repeatedly tried to turn Biden’s Normandy visit into a highlight reel of senior moments and missteps, aimed at showing the president as infirm, addled or out of his depth...

But an examination of video feeds from the events in Normandy, France, makes clear that the selected clips had been edited to present a particularly damaging — and often misleading — picture.

Again, you be the judge:

They can claim all they want that it's been cropped, slowed down, whatever, but it doesn't change the fact that we're watching a man who seems completely out of it half the time.

They can keep telling us we’re not seeing what we’re seeing, but I can tell you who is observing it with 20/20 vision: the American people.

I contend there are other, more powerful players involved in the decision about whether or not to let Joe run. It’s not Joe’s decision, but neither is it Obama’s or the rest of the Democratic party leadership. Obama and others might be managing the Biden presidency but the decision to run him or not is not theirs’ to make or Biden would have already been replaced by now.

Who’s calling the shots and making the final decision? The people who own the Democratic Party. Obama and his ilk are just their highly paid employees. The people who turned Obama’s net worth from $1.3 million to $70 million after 8 years in the presidency, are the ones who make the final decisions - the George Soros’s and Klaus Schwab’s of the world and the CCP. And why would these players want to stick with Biden instead of replacing him? Because they know Biden’s totally controlled, and they’re not afraid of the fallout from blatantly stealing the election to keep him in office.

They don’t care if the country is thrown into civil unrest or if some pretext for declaring martial law has to be invoked to ensure that Biden stays in for a second term. Democrat operatives like Obama et. al. are less comfortable with that outcome because they’ll be the ones on the front lines who will have to sell such a blatant power grab to the American people. They have no qualms about stealing an election as long as they have reasonably plausible deniability, but the blatant power grab that will be required to keep Biden in office for a second term is not something they’re comfortable with. They’re comfortable administering the soft tyranny under which we’ve been living for the past 3 1/2 years, where half the country can be duped into believing the country’s problems are being caused by the right and not by them. But they’re less comfortable imposing the open sort of tyranny that exists in places like China, where the entire populace understands their government views them as chattel to do with as they please but are forced into compliance out fear. They understand that the risks to them if such a power grab fails are much greater than the risk to the global elites who give them their marching orders.

Another view of the Biden debacle. That final shot of "friendly Obama" caressing the
shoulder of the "out of it" Biden, as he led him off the stage, was definitely not in the script.

"Hey buddy, we almost pulled it off, now try to look alive before we hustle you out of
view of those dam cameras. Just follow the red arrows, and for God's sake, dont trip."

So if the RNC was truly responsible for deep fakes per the WH, then why doesn’t the DNC PR dept ever show the “unaltered” videos to prove their point?

“I have a theory that they’re keeping him off the drugs leading up to the debate, so the drugs will have maximum helpful effect on the old man”

I thought of that as well. One can build up a tolerance to drugs over time. However I am not sure what he is taking. So it is just speculation but certainly possible.

Hedge fund Billionaire Bill Ackman fumes over Biden being
helped off stage by Obama, ‘his second term is a grave threat’

By Sumanti Sencom, hindustantimes.com, Jun 17, 2024

Ackman has taken to social media to express his disappointment with the Democratic Party for “advancing Biden for a second term.”

Ackman expressed his concerns over a video where former president Barack Obama was seen guiding a confused Joe Biden off stage as the president appeared to freeze at a Los Angeles fundraiser. The video, shared by Piers Morgan himself commented, “So embarrassing. Democrats cannot allow this to continue.”

Ackman took to social media to express his disappointment with the Democratic Party for “advancing Biden for a second term.” He addressed concerns over Biden’s age, like many others have in the past, adding that the “perception of weak leadership in the United States has led to global chaos.”

“I have been criticized by some for sharing these @POTUS Biden videos which appear almost every day. I have read numerous articles which somehow suggest that the camera angle, the duration of the clip or some form of right wing manipulation explains Biden’s behavior on camera,” Ackman wrote in a post on X.

He added, “Some people are old at 81 and others are sharp, vigorous, and impressive. Compare Warren Buffett at 93 and Biden at 81. Biden is an old 81 who can’t find his way off a stage or stay present and focused at a G7 conference. Is that who should be the leader of the free world for the next five years?”

‘The Democratic Party is destroying itself’

Many leaders, including some Democrats, are concerned over Biden’s age and his ability to function properly ahead of the 2024 election. The president has on multiple occasions frozen on stage, made embarrassing gaffes, and forgotten names of important people. In fact last year, Sharon Sweda, the leader of the Democratic Party in Lorain County in Ohio, bluntly said that death is “imminent” for elderly people like him.

Ackman wrote that a “president should not have to be led off stage by hand or with an arm wrapped around him,” referring to the recent incident. “The reality of weak leadership is a long-term serious and continued threat to our country,” he added.

“The Democratic Party is destroying itself by advancing Biden for a second term,” Ackman wrote. “This is the Emperor’s New Clothes in real life. But it is not a children’s book or a joke. The world is at great risk, and a Biden second term is a grave threat to global security and prosperity.”

That’s for certain.

I saw it in 2020, anyone familiar with dementia could see it. I could dig back in to my posts here, then, and I was calling the Biden Campaign elder abuse by Jill.

The day before, Biden mindlessly wandered away from a group photo of national leaders when a paratrooper landed about 40 feet away.

Instead of guiding Biden back to the group, the ENTIRE group moved over to where Joe was now standing.

MSNBC claimed that the Political Right used deceptive videos to imply that Biden had wandered into empty space, when in fact Biden was concerned that the paratrooper might have been injured.

In my opinion, the entire event was a pitiful and politically motivated display of elder abuse.

Good post. Good analysis.

I know one thing: As crazy as it is now, this is the calm before the storm.

Biden mindlessly wandered away from a pre-scheduled G7
group photo-op after a skydiving exhibition for the world leaders.

This is the actual scene....the obviously healthy paratrooper vigorously
repacking his parachute, completely oblivious to a babbling Biden.

MSNBC sucked up big time, rushing to defend Biden, blaming the Political Right for using "deceptive videos." MSBNC fatuously claimed "compassionate" Biden turned away b/c he was "concerned" the paratrooper might have been injured.
