Biden Walks, Conspiracies Talk

A video of President Biden at the G7 Summit is making waves, with a brief clip showing him walking away from a group of leaders. The right-wing is quick to pounce, claiming it's evidence of mental decline, but the White House sets the record straight.

In the video, Biden turns and walks away from the group, who were watching a skydiver, giving a thumbs-up. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni redirects him back.

White House Spokesperson, Andrew Bates, calls out "right-wing propaganda," stating Biden was simply congratulating the diver. Uniformed staff, believed to be packing a parachute, were also in Biden's path:

• "[He's] giving a thumbs up," Bates explained.

Despite this, critics on social media continue to spread concerns about Biden's actions, with some even suggesting he's being "babysat":

• "...wanders off...Another national leader has to retrieve him," a user tweeted.

Fact-Check: The G7 Summit, an annual meet of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US, is currently being held in Italy. Biden signed a 10-year Ukraine military support pledge at the summit, but his early departure skips a planned Saturday news conference.

Right-wing media's continued focus on Biden's every move reveals their desperation to paint him in a negative light, often relying on partial clips and misinformation to support their agenda.
