Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee exposed how the Biden administration—under former President Joe Biden—relied on media spin to protect his public image.
Jean-Pierre admitted that the administration used the term “cheap fakes,” a label invented by liberal media outlets, to dismiss viral videos showing Biden appearing confused, frozen, or disoriented.
When asked whether the administration had verified any of the videos before repeating that claim, she admitted it had not. The White House had followed the media’s lead.
This admission reveals how the Biden team prioritized narrative over truth.
Rather than independently assessing evidence, the administration amplified the media’s language to downplay legitimate concerns about the president’s behavior.
Jean-Pierre’s testimony confirms that political optics took precedence over transparency, even when the issue involved the public’s trust in a sitting president.
The reality is that many of the so-called “cheap fakes” weren’t fake at all.
Unedited footage from the 2024 Juneteenth concert showed Biden standing motionless while others danced around him.
At the G7 summit in Italy, cameras captured Biden wandering away from a group of world leaders until Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, gently redirected him back.
The incident, widely circulated on social media, showed other leaders looking on awkwardly as Biden appeared disoriented, reinforcing growing concerns about his awareness and ability to engage in high-level diplomacy.
Independent fact-checkers later confirmed that those clips were authentic and unaltered—contradicting the White House’s claims.
