politifact truth-o-meter gives the Biden video a rating of False. The RNC and conservative media are pushing deepfakes about Biden because they need to deflect from the many videos of Trump showing his age while speaking.
politifact truth-o-meter always has a short and long explanation. You can check out the longer explanation.
In short – Videos shared by conservative media outlets and in social media posts claim to show President Joe Biden wandering away from other world leaders at the G7 summit in Italy and having to be fetched by the Italian prime minister for a group photo.
Longer video and video from other angles of the event show several skydivers on the ground behind Biden and to his left. He turned to speak with them and gave a thumbs up, video shows.
Many claims by Trump and Conservative media outlets get a even lower rating of “Pants on Fire” by politifact.
