The Biden administration has claimed that the viral video of President Joe Biden wandering away during the G7 meeting is “disinformation.”
The video shows Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stepping aside and leading Biden back to his place with the world leaders.
Adrienne Elrod, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, said the video was used by Republicans without context.
Discussing the clip on MSNBC, Elrod said, “We have to combat that disinformation, we have to hit it hard when it happens and make it clear that these are dirty tactics that MAGA Republicans are using, because they can’t run on the issues…”
She added that “we’re going to see more of this, we’re going to do what we can to combat it, but it does take the voices of surrogates across the country, it does take the media to call it out, it takes social media platforms where a lot of Americans are getting their information, to point it out as well.”
While some have alleged the viral clip was used for political gain, the longer form of the video still shows Biden aimlessly straying away from the event.
