The RNC edited a video of President Biden to claim that he was wandering off during the G7, but fact-checkers have been pounding MAGA for their lie.
White House advisor Andrew Bates posted the real and edited versions of the clip:
The Murdoch outlets are so desperate to distract from @POTUS‘s record that they just lie.
Here, they use an artificially narrow frame to hide from viewers that he just saw a skydiving demonstration.
He’s saying congratulations to one of the divers and giving a thumbs up.

World leaders like British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak provided the facts, âThey had all landed and he was being very polite. And he just went over to kind of talk to all of them individually. They all came to shake all our hands individually. So we were meant to stand in one place rather than go and say hello, because everyone wanted to try and talk to the person who jumped with their flag.â
CNN called the video deceptively cropped.
The deception is the point. Republicans can’t run on the strengths of Trump because their nominee is coming out of the meeting being compared to a drunk uncle and someone who can’t keep a train of thought, so they need to invent an imaginary Biden through false and deceptively edited videos.
Trump can’t beat the real Biden, so Republicans are trying to fool voters with a fake one instead.
