FifthSeveral media outlets published a video showing US President Joe Biden distancing himself from other world leaders during the G7 meeting. However, a new video – shot from another angle – shows that Biden was not wandering aimlessly, but rather walking towards a group of skydivers, who had just landed, and giving them a positive wave.
According to NBC News, after the first images were published, many Biden critics seized on the video to highlight that the 81-year-old US president was too old and distracted to lead the United States.
However, new video captured by NBC News shows that Biden was not wandering aimlessly at all. The videos went viral on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates previously criticized some publications that he accused of lying. “They are so desperate to distract,” he added.
Murdoch’s outlets are desperate for a distraction @potosRecord that they are just lying.
Here, they use an artificially narrow frame to obscure viewers who have just watched a skydiving demonstration.
He says congratulations to one of the divers and gives a thumbs up. video: https://t.co/Pn0uGtzpLy pic.twitter.com/tDowABzud3
