President Joe Biden joined former President Barack Obama and several Hollywood script readers in Los Angeles over the weekend to raise funds for his reelection campaign, and unlike edited video excerpts circulated online by Democratic activists, The Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner released raw, uninterrupted footage that shows the 81-year-old presidential candidate once again becoming nervous and paralyzed. Unsettling interviewThe uncut video shows President Obama grabbing Biden by the wrist and escorting him off the stage.
This was one in a series of instances in recent weeks in which Biden appeared stunned and momentarily immobilized, leading to vigorous damage control efforts by the White House and Biden’s allies further afield, both at home and abroad.
In
White House press conference on MondaySpokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said: page The Washington Post and other related publications have suggested the video vilifying Biden is “manipulated.”
Jean-Pierre argues that the term “cheap fake” originated in the media, but it was White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates who first popularized the term. Media Statement.
“That’s exactly what it is: a cheap fake video,” Jean-Pierre said. “It was made with bad intentions.”
The latest video was produced by a journalist from a left-leaning publication, but Jean-Pierre said:
Right wing The president’s critics have a credibility problem because fact-checkers have repeatedly found them to be peddling misinformation and disinformation.”
The American public needs to know much more from Biden’s recent, apparently frozen video before concluding that his mental health is deteriorating, that his ability to perform his duties is severely limited, and that he is too old to serve in the presidency.
Recent poll.
Below are five clear and well-documented examples of Biden gaffes, missteps and breakdowns that may call into question the White House’s denials.
1. The time-traveling president
After suggesting at a campaign event in Las Vegas in February that “Trump and his MAGA cronies” were an obstacle to realizing America’s great potential, Biden
Said“You know, shortly after I was elected I attended what was called the G7 meeting, all the NATO leaders were there, in the south of England, and I sat down and said, ‘America is back.'”
The 47th G7 summit, held in Cornwall, England, took place just months before Biden was inaugurated as president, Blaze News previously reported. A fatal retreat From Afghanistan.
“And Mitterrand in Germany, or rather in France, looked at me and said, ‘Listen, why, how long are you staying?'” Biden said. “I looked at him, and the German chancellor said, ‘Mr. President, if you picked up the Times of London tomorrow and the Times of London said, ‘To stop the election of the prime minister, 1,000 people stormed the House of Commons, broke down the doors, and two police officers were killed,’ what would you say?'”
“I never thought about it from that perspective. What do you say to what happened in other democracies in the world? Well, the whole world was watching. The whole world was watching. So what is going on?” the president added.
Not only did Biden misstate, correct, then misstate again François Mitterrand’s nationality, he also made the mistake of suggesting he was still alive.
Mitterrand was not the German chancellor with whom Biden reportedly spoke, but a former French president who died in 1996.
Biden said on another occasion that he may be at least two years behind mentally. Focus on it “There are many reasons to be hopeful after 2020,” he said of 2022. Even then, Mitterrand was completely out of earshot.
according to According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with dementia have problems with memory, attention, communication, reasoning, judgment, problem-solving and visual perception that go beyond normal age-related changes in vision. Forgetting names and old memories is one of the signs of dementia highlighted by the center.
2. “Where’s Jackie?”

Biden remembered her later in the day.
write“Jill and I are shocked and saddened by the news that Indiana Congresswoman Jackie Wolorski and two of her staff members were killed in a car accident in Indiana today.”
The Democratic president added, “While we represent different political parties and may not have seen eye-to-eye on many issues, she was respected by members of both parties for her work on the House Ways and Means Committee. She also serves as co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus, and my team and I are grateful for her collaboration as we plan a historic White House conference on hunger, nutrition and health this fall that will be marked by her deep attention to the needs of rural America.”
The White House flew American flags at half-staff for two full days, and Biden called the families to offer his condolences.
report New York Post.
The following month, at a White House conference on hunger, nutrition and health, Biden made it clear that the memory of his partner’s recent death had not yet settled.
“And I want to thank all of you here, including our bipartisan elected officials like Congressman McGovern, Senator Brown, Senator Booker, Congressman Jackie. Is Jackie here? Where is Jackie?,” Biden said, according to a White House transcript. “I didn’t expect her to be here. She wasn’t going to be here to help make this happen. And I want to thank Senator Stabenow, Congressman DeLauro for their leadership.”
3. Doubling Down
“I could die tomorrow,” Biden said in an interview a few years ago, while addressing donors in September 2023 at a lavish Manhattan campaign reception hosted by billionaire real estate heiress Amy Goldman Fowler.
Biden offered a revisionist account of the events that prompted him to run for office, referencing the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
False claims Former President Donald Trump suggested that “there are fine people on both sides,” a move that seemed to include white identitarians in Virginia at the time.
After Biden finished speaking, he repeated the story “almost word for word,” according to Jonathan Lemire, Politico’s White House bureau chief and MSNBC political analyst (hardly a right-wing critic).
White House Records
Confirmed Biden repeated that story almost verbatim.
Jean-Pierre did not suggest the official transcript was a cheap fake or deny that Biden had repeatedly addressed the audience. Instead, he said Biden “spoke from his heart.”
4. Folding
Unfortunately, Biden has had a number of missteps and stumbles since taking office in 2021. Three incidents stand out in particular.
On March 19, 2021, the steps to Air Force One proved too much for Biden to handle.
Video Show Biden, a Democrat who was 78 at the time, grabbed the banister and climbed the stairs until his right leg nearly gave way and he stumbled forward, before dropping to his knees to recover and climb the rest of the stairs.
Blaze News previously reported that Jean-Pierre blamed the wind for the crash.
“It’s very windy outside,” Jean-Pierre said. “So windy that I nearly fell while going up the stairs.”
On June 1, 2023, Biden attended a graduation ceremony at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. After shaking hands with the last graduating class, Biden collapsed. White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said:
was suggested Biden tripped over a sandbag.
Days after Biden stumbled up the stairs to Air Force One again, He was out on an ill-fated bike ride near his Delaware beach house in June 2022. He approached a crowd of people, sped off and then fell onto his side.
The White House suggested Biden ultimately did not require medical attention.
5. Regime Change
Biden is a mess Country namethe war, and his Sister and wifeHe inadvertently undermined America’s hard-won foreign policy and called on people to respect the Holocaust. Unconsciously ignored He met with foreign leaders. But there was one time when Biden believed in his own abilities and went off script, and that proved more dangerous than other times.
A month after Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden spoke in Warsaw, Poland, condemning the illegal actions and stressing that any future fight against the authoritarian regime would take time to win.
Towards the end of his speech, Biden deviated from his prepared remarks and made comments that many, including the Kremlin, interpreted at the time as a call for regime change in Moscow.
“No matter what, we cannot allow this man to remain in power,” Biden said of President Vladimir Putin.
CNN I got it. At the time, the White House quickly corrected the president’s remarks, saying, “The president’s point was that Putin will not be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors and the region.”
“He was not discussing President Putin’s power in Russia or regime change,” a White House official said.
“Oh, I wish they’d just followed the script.” Said “To say this policy is regime change, or to even suggest it is, as he did, is going to cause big problems,” said Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho). “This administration has done everything it can to stop things from getting worse. There’s no way to make things worse than calling for regime change.”
It was provocative to suggest to a nuclear adversary that the United States wanted to topple its government, but on this visit, Biden accidentally risked a second provocation by suggesting to U.S. soldiers in Poland that they were on their way to Ukraine.
