White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continues to say President Biden is being miscast by videos she calls 'cheap fakes' after repeated videos of him being guided by other leaders or briefly 'freezing' on stage.
She hammered the media and blamed Republicans for attacks she called 'misinformation.' She did not repeat the use of another term – 'deepfakes' – that she used at her Monday White House briefing.
That is a form of digital altering of video an images, which the White House and Biden backers have not established took place with video from him at the G7 in Italy, at a White House Juneteenth event, or at an LA fundraiser.
'It's also very insulting to the folks, the viewers who are watching it. And so we believe we have to call that out. We've been calling it cheap fakes. That is something that came directly from the media outlets in calling it that, the fact-checkers and calling it that. And so we're certainly going to be really, really clear about that as well. And calling it out from where we are, from where we stand,' she said.
Then she specifically took on some of the Biden incidents that have drawn notice – including one of him walking away from a group of world leaders at the G7 in Italy, only to be guided back to a photo-op by Italian PM Giorgia Meloni.
'I think there is so much misinformation, disinformation as we've been talking about. You talked about the video of the president wandering. And it's not true. Right? The president wasn't wandering. He was talking to a parachuter that was right in front of him. And what you saw is the Republican Party really manipulating what was being said and what was being seen by the American people,' she said.
On Monday at her White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre told DailyMail.com that former President Barack Obama's decision to guide Biden after a big bucks fundraiser was a function of their longstanding relationship.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continued to brand videos of President Biden being led off stage or freezing during events as 'cheap fakes'
'Excuse me, I did not know not dancing was a mental – was a health issue,' White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, defending the president's dance-free moments at a Juneteenth celebration at the White HOuse
On Saturday, video of former President Barack Obama reaching for Biden's hand and seemingly guiding the 81-year-old Commander-in-Chief off the stage at a Los Angeles fundraiser went viral.
Last week, Biden stood motionless and stared blankly for nearly a full minute at a Juneteenth celebration at the White House, as people around him sang and danced to the music.
She also defended his not dancing at a Juneteenth celebration where he also briefly stood motionless. 'The president stood there listening to the music and he didn't dance. Excuse me, I did not know not dancing was a mental – was a health issue,' she said.
'Let's not forget: President Obama, President Biden have a relationship. They are friends. They're like family. And I think that's what you saw,' she said of Obama.
During that briefing, Jean-Pierre also used the term 'deepfakes' when she said, 'we're seeing these deep fakes, these manipulated videos. And it is, again, done in bad faith.
She told the New York Post afterward she had meant to stay 'cheap fakes,' a term the White House uses to label videos it considers cut short or edited in a way to put the president in a bad light.
