Joe Biden and Barack Obama recently attended a fundraiser in Los Angeles to support the Democratic nominee. However, a video of the event has caused quite a stir on social media. In the footage, Biden appears to "freeze" on stage and is then escorted off by Obama. This has led some to question Biden's fitness for the White House, with even Donald Trump's supporters using the video as evidence.
But those who were actually present at the event have spoken out, warning that the video has been edited to appear more alarming than it actually was. In reality, after a half-hour interview with TV host Jimmy Kimmel, Biden and Obama were simply walking off stage together when Obama gently touched Biden's arm. The crowd was applauding for nearly a minute and Biden was seen waving and chatting with people in the front rows before leaving.
In response to the false reports about Biden "freezing" again, attendees of the event have shared the full, unedited version of the video. Journalist Olga Nesterova even urged others to fact-check before sharing misinformation. It seems that three young adults in the front row were yelling at Biden, causing him to pause and listen, but he did not freeze up as some have claimed.
Both the White House and Obama's senior adviser, Eric Schultz, have denied the claims that Biden was led off stage. In a statement, Schultz emphasized that this did not happen. However, the Republicans have been using Biden's age as a way to attack him, even though he is only a few years older than his opponent, who just celebrated his 78th birthday.
Despite the attempts to paint Biden as too old for the job, many influential figures showed their support for him at the fundraiser. George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand were among those who took the stage to rally for the Democratic party. It's important to fact-check and not fall for misleading videos, as the truth can easily be distorted in today's fast-paced media landscape.
