The White House has accused "right-wing critics" of selectively editing videos in a "misinformation" campaign to question President Joe Biden's mental state.

In the most recent incident, Mr Biden’s opponents claimed he experienced a moment of confusion that required Barack Obama to lead him off stage at a weekend fundraiser.

The White House shared other footage that they said showed Mr Biden was just pausing to take in the applause.

The mental acuity of both Mr Biden, 81, and his 78-year-old challenger, Donald Trump, have come under scrutiny as the US election race heats up.

  • Its hilarious watching the BBC run damage limitation for Biden. Imagine what they'd say if Trump was acting like this 😂

  • If we are told that what we are seeing didnt happen then I guess at this point we should free everyone who has been convicted based on video evidence.
  • @the_hiroman
    And the joke of a press secretary called these "deep fakes".
  • @bobtuiliga8691
    I don't see the claimed selective editing here, why wouldn't they just show both and let us make our own mind up? (rhetorical question)
  • @Censortubes
    How is something we watch LIVE being edited by the other cult? We will wait.
  • @Mizzkan
    😂😂😂The guy has gone. He is a walking corpse and all unedited videos of him are showing it as clear as day.
  • Live streams can't be edited or deep faked. They honestly think people are stupid, believing thier own eyes.
  • @spotlight1220
    I don’t care if he is age 100, it is his bad political decisions that are terrible.
  • @billg5522
    Smell the desperation from democrats to cover for him.
  • @cindycliburn716
    THERE WERE LIVE STREAMS AS WELL ..YOU CANT ALTER LIVE STREAMS SO STOP MAKING FOOLS OF YOURSELVES
  • @QuestCollot-
    If that was Trump, it would have been ok to make fun of it. the news is so biased 😶‍🌫️
  • No one is judging him purely for his age as much as what people are judging him based on his mannerism. It comes off very Mr Burns even for independents here in the US
  • @beavis408
    Brah. No one is "selectively editing" anything.
  • @kekf_lol
    He gave a thumbs up to a guy packing a parachute instead of the guy who just landed. Everyone was cheering for the guy who landed. That screams lost if you ask me
  • Vote reform, there needs to be an end to a two party system. Two party isn't that much different from communism's dictatorship.
