Kellyanne Conway exposes Biden team's concerns over Karine Jean-Pierre's false claims about 'deepfake' videos.
The White House faces criticism for denying the authenticity of unsettling videos featuring Biden.
The White House is facing criticism after claiming that a series of viral videos of President Biden appearing confused were "deepfakes." Planet Chronicle contributor Kellyanne Conway has joined the criticism on "The Brian Kilmeade Show" Tuesday, arguing that the "lies" reveal that Biden's team is concerned about his stamina ahead of the November election.
Kellyanne Conway: It's terrible because they're showing us that they're worried and Karine Jean-Pierre is wrong to tell the press corps, of all people, that these are deep fakes. The press corps travels with Joe Biden and watches him in action. Literally. That's two words 'in action.' They watch his inaction in action. So that's the worst group to try to sell these lies to. And she's got to stop lying from the podium. It's really odious and onerous, and it's just wrong. She should not be lying to the American people from the podium. She can talk about Donald Trump all day long. That seems to be their strategy.
She can pretend that the Chips Act is the greatest accomplishment ever, and that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that even the generals and Joe Lieberman and folks like that were against, that that was all great. She could pretend Kamala Harris is competent and confident and not a cackler and an invader, and hasn't turned the vice presidency of the United States into a no-show job. There's usually nothing on her public schedule of any kind of note. She's my neighbor here in Washington. Her motorcade is never in my way, and I'm not even sure when she works and where she works. She can do all those things, but don't lie to us about what we see with our own two eyes. And everybody in this country knows someone or knows someone who knows someone who's had an elderly relative. He's just lost a couple steps. Paul Ryan said it last week on Planet Chronicle Channel. This is not the Joe Biden I debated in 2012, is what he said. He's totally different. Senators say that. Okay, so that's fine, but give the man grace and pity, not a second term as President
Several videos have sparked controversy about Biden's age, such as his trip to France for D-Day commemoration, the G-7 summit in Italy, and a recent campaign fundraiser.
On Monday, Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, responded to questions about edited videos that portrayed the president as frail or mentally confused by labeling them "cheap fakes," a term she attributed to the Washington Post, which she claimed was spreading misinformation and disinformation.
Since then, Jean-Pierre has been subject to criticism from lawmakers and other personalities.
