FICUS Biden hid in his basement all 2020 campaign season, skipped the usual address Presidents give before Congress and is 50+ days from any press conference. Now surfaces a video, allegedly of Biden answering a question from the press on the White House lawn. However, it appears manipulated – blatantly so.
Insanity Wrap’s Twitter feed blew up this morning with questionable-looking accounts making questionable claims about the veracity of this short clip of Presidentish Joe Biden taking a quick question from the press.
But after looking into it, it’s the video itself that’s questionable. (snip)
the clip was run by both Bloomberg and The Hill, two publications that, whatever their actual merits, pass for reputable.
So let’s walk through this. There are two videos, the first is actually on the Bloomberg youtube channel. Hopefully you’ll be able to watch them until the embarrassment causes them to be disappeared.
Pay attention to both the :08 and :36 second marks where Biden’s right hand passes, several times, in front of the ostensible microphones.
Now, here is the same “press appearance” from a different angle. Pay attention to Biden’s right hand at :05 second mark.
and, since screenshots last forever, this is a compilation I took straight off my computer and then saved as one .jpg.
It’s still up at ABC news:
Asked if he has any plans to visit the U.S.-Mexico border, where the number of unaccompanied teens and children in U.S. custody has reached record numbers, Pres. Biden says, "Not at the moment." https://t.co/aCWZks4sgN pic.twitter.com/bUcmLgl0V0

So what we have here is either Clown media colluding with Biden’s handlers to create an event where FICUS appears to be a normal, functioning President who can appear in front of the press without some secret service agent throwing himself in front of an unscripted question or …
We have a Clown Media who passes on White House green-screen productions and is laughing at everyone who spots the clumsiness of the editing. This is their big middle finger at the hoi polloi who dare might question who is actually in charge now.
Precious, don’t you think?

UPDATE: Zooming in on another screenshot from first video at :09 mark. Nothing suspicious at all.
UPDATE II: Welcome Instapundit readers!
Paladin says: When you think it can’t get any weirder …. Darleen, clearly this proves we’re Alice Down the Rabbit Hole and we’re not even close to hitting bottom yet
John A Wilson says: So how was that all staged? Did they have to photoshop Biden* in after blowing it the first time?
Glenn Beck talked about Deep Fake videos a few years ago. I expect more of this. https://www.glennbeck.com/theblaze-tv/deep-fakes-are-getting-out-of-control
GWB says: I have to wonder if this isn’t a first attempt at one. Xiden can hide in his basement for 4 years if they can pull that off.
Hudson says: Would not there be a way to identify journalists who were there?
John A Wilson says: The background looks odd too. It looks like a park but not the White House grounds.
Walt C Ronheit says: Kinda like Mystery Science Theater 2000 graphics. woof!
MaynardQT says: This looks like cheap iphone apps that put in special effects, like meteor strikes. I think they put in fake mics to make it appear more like a press conference?
Dan says: The obvious manipulation is frightening. The only conclusion is that things are much worse than anyone has been thinking about Biden’s mental decline, and they’re having to go to these extremes to try to hide them. Perhaps this explains why the Democrats are working so hard to keep his finger off the nuclear button?
GWB says: It tickles at my hindmost brain, but I can’t place it. Hint, please?
Sasha Shokolova says: Death to Zeons! Death to Zeons!
GWB says: AHA! There are other “John Gill”s and it threw me off.
Thomas Gallowglass says: John GIll was actually more competent…and who do we cast as Melakon?
John A Wilson says: I could imagine them grabbing some clip of President Trump doing an interview and photoshopping Biden into it, but how could you get the old fool to act properly to fit into the clip?
GWB says: It would be tough, but the mask makes it easier – just as long as it’s moving, you don’t even have to lip synch.
John A Wilson says: It’s truly troubling if Biden* is so far gone that they have to do this staged stuff.
Scott says: Dont worry, the fact checkers have spoken, the video is real, not altered… who ya gonna believe, the government/media approved “fact checkers”, or your own lyin eyes?
Quentin Q Quill says: Breaking News!!! Voice of America Reporter Steve Herman tweeted the following: “I was the one holding the lighter-colored fuzzy microphone and thus literally in front of @POTUS on the South Lawn. It’s all real. Who actually believes this “faked moon landing” nonsense and more importantly who is spreading it?”
There are also other camera angles of this “incident” that show a clearer shot of the microphone in relation to Biden. You can start at reporter Shayan Sardarizadeh’s twitter account to see this if you’re interested.
Darlin’ Darlene, maybe you can contact reporter Steve Herman to see if this was a real exchange between reporters and Biden. Do you think the other reporters there were paid actors, stooges of the CIA, or some other conspiracy theory? For being a person who probably decries fake news, you sure seemed to fall for some fake news here. People who bought into this will probably believe what they want to believe, but go ahead and check out the above “alternative facts” if you want.
Scott says: Denial, it ain’t just a river in egypt… Any fool can see his hand go THROUGH the microphone.. so unless he’s a freaking magician, it’s an altered video. We know the truth isn’t something you’re familiar with Q, but DAMN, this is stretching it, even for you!
GWB says: Do you think the other reporters there were paid actors, stooges of the CIA, or some other conspiracy theory?
Well, as Glenn Reynolds likes to say, “Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines, and it all makes sense.” And the intelligence agency heads have proved themselves a biased group with a primary goal of keeping the right people in power in the US the way they used to overseas – including feeding false stories to the media, who willingly print them without corroboration.
There’s not really a “conspiracy theory” necessary when you look at the political class and their sycophants in the media.
Old NFO says: Speaking of ‘fact checkers’, some folks are now using Newsweek to ‘prove’ it’s real… Sigh
Scott says: That’s almost as bad as using Snopes….
Quentin Q Quill says: As I said, some people are going to believe. what they want to believe.
Scott says: Like the people that believe that Gropey Joe and the Hoe actually won the election, and that no fraud was involved???
GWB says: And some are just gonna keep projecting.
