Biden is in decline. The White House is in denial.

During Monday’s White House press briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made the audacious claim that recent videos of President Biden’s bumbling and fumbling are, in fact, “cheap fakes.”

KJP also appeared to oscillate between using “cheap fakes” and “deepfakes” — she may not know what either is.

“It tells you everything that we need to know about how desperate Republicans are here,” Jean-Pierre said. “And 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, we’re seeing these deepfakes, these manipulated videos. And it is, again, done in bad faith.”

Popular conservative news account Libs of TikTok shared the video of KJP’s spin alongside a video of Biden wandering off during the G7 Summit.

 

…and here comes the internet.

“These videos are absolutely not ‘deep fakes’ or ‘manipulated,’” Fox News contributor Guy Benson wrote. “Feel free to argue that they’re being mischaracterized, or unfairly portrayed, or taken out of a fuller context. But it’s literal misinformation to pretend the videos themselves are fake. They are not.”

“Wait, exactly which videos we’ve all seen—of Biden freezing or looking lost—are deepfakes?” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, asked. “I’d really like to know.”

The senator shared a series of videos and wrote, “I’m not just being snarky here. If the president of the United States is being smeared by deepfakes, I’d like to know what they are. I hope @PressSec will let us know.”

“The White House calling legitimate video footage a deep fake is every bit as dangerous as a right wing troller saying a deep fake is legitimate video footage,” columnist David Marcus wrote. “In both cases the purpose is to confuse people by lying.”

“DON’T BELIEVE YOUR LYING EYES,” radio personality and news editor Ari Hoffman wrote. “Here’s where KJP switches from saying cheap fakes to deep fakes as if we can’t see Biden’s deterioration in real-time.”

“A reporter needs to genuinely ask her what she thinks a deep fake is,” The Spectator contributing editor Stephen L. Miller wrote.

“Wow…Democrats are truly panicked,” Rep. Keith Seif, R-Texas, wrote.
