Right-wing social media users and pundits falsely claimed on social media President Joe Biden attempted to sit in a nonexistent chair on stage at D-Day commemoration ceremony in Normandy on Thursday, even though a longer video showed there was a chair in that spot—a fraught attempt to amplify concerns about the 81-year-old president’s mental fitness.
Biden, Macron and Austin delivered remarks at the ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France, widely considered the catalyst to World War II’s end. The video is the latest example of a deceptively edited or manipulated video spread on social media by Biden adversaries—, a video of Biden placing an “I voted” sticker on his granddaughter’s chest was looped to make it appear as if he were inappropriately and repeatedly touching her, prompting Meta to review its content moderation policies after the video was left up on Facebook and some users labeled Biden a “pedophile.
