Team Biden rejects ‘cheap fake’ videos showing him drifting and freezing on stage
The Spectator ^ | 06/17/2024 | Amber Duke

Who can you put next to President Joe Biden that will make him look good? We know it’s not the G7, as Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni had to wrangle the US commander-in-chief when he threatened to drift away from the group of world leaders during a parachuting demonstration. And Saturday confirmed that former president Barack Obama isn’t the answer either, after grabbing his former VP by the wrist and guiding him by his shoulders off the stage at a Los Angeles event as Biden appeared to freeze for about five seconds.

Biden’s handlers have already equipped him with special shoes and a gaggle of aides now surround him during boarding of Marine One to disguise his shuffling gait. What might they dream up next to protect the fragile president from unfortunate optics?

So far, their best answer has been to deny that what we’re seeing with our own eyes is even happening. White House spokesman Andrew Bates suggested that right-leaning media outlets are “disrespecting... readers” when they publish “cheap fakes.” He’s not talking about knock-off Louis Vuitton bags outside of the NYC subway — “cheap fakes” is apparently the new term for videos that show things Team Biden doesn’t like. Karine Jean-Pierre repeated the term at the White House briefing room podium on Monday.

In response to the New York Post’s description of the Obama incident, former Obama advisor Eric Schultz simply said “this did not happen.” Some started circulating their own video that contained multiple cuts and conveniently zoomed out during the six-second period that Biden seemingly froze and Obama subsequently served as his visiting angel — far enough that we couldn’t see the specifics of the exchange. How’s that for a “cheap fake?”

The other defense from Democrats was to point to former president Donald Trump mixing up the name of his White House doctor. He mistakenly referred to now-congressman Ronny Jackson as “Ronny Johnson.”

Sure, Trump is only three years younger than Biden (as Dr. Jill often reminds us) but we all know the difference between misspeaking on occasion and claiming you started doing civil rights activism when you were fifteen, forgetting when your son died and the circumstances of his death, insisting you were vice president during the pandemic and trying to shout out a congresswoman who passed away in a tragic car accident the month prior.

Unfortunately, Voters are not buying the excuses for Biden’s poor mental and physical state. According to a new poll by Echelon Insights, voters are more concerned with Biden’s age than with Trump’s felony conviction. There’s even more reason for the Biden camp’s desperate attempt to downplay reality; Trump leads Biden by eighteen points in a new poll by Ann Selzer, who is considered one of the most reliable Iowa pollsters. As Frank Luntz said, this is “bad news for Biden in more competitive Midwestern states like Wisconsin and Michigan.”

They have to lie to themselves so they can continue with him. Somehow, it isn’t surprising.. That kind can’t live their way and admit truth.

I know someone who knows one of Burden’s SS agents personally. When asked what Burden is really like, he answered, “old”. And that was at the beginning of his presidency. We can all see that he has gone downhill super fast.

This probably helps a little, people will click to see the devious fake and see what I saw both times I have looked at the debunking, he does what we saw the first time.

There is often a reference to ‘deep fakes’... In Biden’s case, it’s ‘deep truths’.

The man is mentally defective and too old to be in a position of power.

It’s hilarious how so many of Biden’s paid social media trolls are claiming “MAGA is lying”, and yet the evidence is there for the whole world to see. These trolls see what we see and yet there is a very real disconnect in their brains. They genuinely seem incapable of seeing what everyone else sees, so deep and hardened is their blind ideology.

I’m hoping he turns into a human Roomba during the debates.

Videos exposing President Joe Biden’s age, gaffes, and recent awkwardness
in public are “cheap fakes” and published in “bad faith,” White House press
secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday.

Twenty-five percent of gullible US citizens will believe this steaming pile of
bull feces.

they will probably put out actual fake videos hoping someone on the right will fall for it and use it, then use that incident to discredit any and all criticisms of Biden that used real videos.

Karine Jean-Pierre’s press briefing today was nothing more than a colossal gas lighting. The press-ALL OF THEM-should be insulted.

And now we’re gonna get real deep fake videos of Biden doing one-armed pushups.

My 86 y.o. mother in law is probably stage 5 of 7 Alzheimer’s disease. She was where Biden is about 18 months ago. Biden is advancing between stage 2 to 3.
I don’t know why she advanced so fast. Covid vaccine? Prednisone for polymyalgia rheumatica? She is a good woman who would do anything for her children. Biden is a total piece of crap. Not fair.

Now, this is NOT a deep fake. It was done by the Septuagenarian, Jack Palace LIVE at the Oscars many years ago.

They are trying to confuse the issue by calling them cheap fakes. They hope you’ll think it’s the same as a deep fake but all they really mean is that they think it was deceptively edited. Hard to see how that could explain what the video shows though.

“Instead of talking about the President’s performance in office, and what I mean by that is his legislative wins, what he’s been able to do for the American people across the country..." -- JPK

Legislative wins only count in the fevered minds of DC; they don't matter diddly squat to normal Americans.

Results matter. He could crow about his results: sky-high inflation, all job growth in government jobs, shutting down the fossil fuel industry, killing ICE vehicles, letting in criminal gangs from all over the world to murder our people, drugs flooding in killing 100,000 Americans every year, TEN million invaders from all over the world, Russia in the Western Hemisphere, virulent anti-semitism, ordinary hard-working Americans paying off spoiled brat elite student loans, $7 billion to build 7 EV chargers, etc, etc.

Talk about THOSE results, Joe.

And while you're at it, at the upcoming debate with President Trump, I hope you address the 51 Intel people who swore your son's laptop "had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation." Try to square that circle with the FBI saying the laptop was legitimate, NOT Russian disinformation.

The left hates it when there are pictures out there....
about events they are desperately denying. So here goes.

A closeup 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.”

wish someone speaking to them while they are denying it would stand up and say “Just stop the crap! We KNOW what we are seeing, and what you ate doing by stringing him along is elder abuse- either admit it and stop lying to the public or be called out everytime by the press who hasn’t sold their souls to the lying party!”
