Speaking to reporters at the White House Tuesday, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre doubled down on her claims "right wing" media produced a series of "cheap fakes" portraying President Joe Biden as doddering, disoriented, confused and out of it. In other words, exactly how he behaved at the first presidential debate with former President Donald Trump in Atlanta.
Karine Jean-Pierre doubles and then triples down after being pressed on her “cheap fakes” comment in relation to videos showing the president's apparent physical and mental decline.

The White House “cheap fakes” narrative got blown up again last night at the debate. https://t.co/eCvl9IwTZL

She is right about one thing, her friends in the media came up with the new term - which she thanked them for.
The White House is NOT happy that "right-wing critics of the president" are sharing videos of Biden that call into question his mental and physical fitness.

Now, they're pretending to be confused about Biden's physical and mental state.
Yes, it was just too darn hard to "pierce the veil of secrecy" surrounding hundreds of videos of Biden acting senile over a period of years. The media really was blindsided by this. https://t.co/eHSL8S6fi9
