White House Attacks “Cheap Fake” Joe Biden Videos As They Spread Across Right Wing Media And Parrot Donald Trump’s Talking Points (Analysis)


The videos parrot Donald Trump's talking points.

The White House in the past week has railed against so-called “ cheap fakes,” videos edited to look as if President Joe Biden has “frozen” or was wandering away at major public events, while but media outlets amplifying the moments have done little to add context. “They are cheap fake videos, they are done in bad faith, and some of your news organizations have been very clear, have stressed that some of these right wing critics of the president have a credibility problem because fact checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said today. The video that circulated showed Biden standing still and smiling at the White House’s Juneteenth celebration last week, listening to a performance on the South Lawn as Vice President Kamala Harris, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and others clapped and swayed to the beat around him.
