On a day that has now become typical, President Joe Biden, who has 81 years of age to his name, demonstrated another in a string of verbal errors while addressing the nation on Tuesday from the White House. The president was there to announce the implementation of new legal protections for a multitude of individuals residing in the country without official documentation. However, this recent verbal stumble is not a stand-alone event, it joins a series of gaffes that have characterized Biden's public appearances in recent times. The White House response has been a dismissal, dubbing the footage of these instances as fabricated.

In the middle of this important announcement, the President appeared to struggle while introducing Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, his speech then deteriorating into a string of incoherent mutterings. It was not long before this gaffe became a hot topic on social media platforms, adding once again to the long list of public missteps from the President.

In an attempt to downplay these incidents, on Monday, Karine Jean-Pierre, addressing the White House press, labelled the circulated videos showcasing the President's bloopers as nothing but deceptive manipulations aimed at misleading the American public. Asserting that the videos were 'cheap fakes', Jean-Pierre suggested that their dissemination was ill-intended.

In her words, 'What you referred to as 'cheap fakes video', that's exactly the right term. These videos are not authentic. They are false and created with a malicious intent.' Jean-Pierre proceeded to claim that it was the right-wing press disseminating false materials, a conclusion she reached crediting fact-checking organizations that accuse these news outlets of spreading 'misinformations and disinformation'.
