00:00White House Press Secretary Kareem Jean-Pierre has denounced recent viral videos depicting

00:28US President Joe Biden as confused at public events, labelling them as cheap fakes.

00:33Her comments followed the spread of several clips on social media which have ignited

00:37debates about the President's mental fitness.

00:40In one widely shared video, President Biden appears to struggle with sitting down during

00:43a D-Day memorial event in France.

00:46Commenters suggested he seemed completely lost or experiencing some kind of episode.

00:51Another clip from a G7 meeting in Italy shows Biden wandering away from the group during

00:55a skydiving demonstration, only to be guided back by Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Mellini.

01:03A different video from an LA fundraising event with former President Barack Obama and late-night

01:08host Jimmy Kimmel shows Biden freezing while waving goodbye to the crowd, after which Obama

01:13takes his hand and leads him offstage.

01:15Additionally, a clip from a White House Juneteenth concert appears to show Biden awkwardly standing

01:20still as others dance around him.

01:23Jean-Pierre addressed these videos during a Monday press briefing, asserting that they

01:26were manipulated to create a misleading narrative about the President.

01:30We are seeing these deepfakes, these manipulated videos, and it is again done in bad faith,"

01:35she stated.

01:36Jean-Pierre argued that such reports are attacks intended to undermine Biden's achievements,

01:41portraying the efforts as a sign of desperation from his opponents.

01:54When questioned about the specific incidents involving Mellini and Obama, Jean-Pierre firmly

01:59insisted that the viral interpretations were false.

02:03These were cheap fakes.

02:05This did not happen in the sense of what people are saying they were seeing or what was being

02:09falsely reported," she declared.

02:11Regarding the Juneteenth concert video, she dismissed claims that Biden had frozen, suggesting

02:15he merely chose not to dance.

02:17"'Excuse me, I did not know that not dancing was a mental health issue.

02:22This is a weird thing to flag,' Jean-Pierre commented."

02:47Despite the White House's dismissals of these videos as fakes, concerns about Biden's

03:17mental fitness remain prevalent among American voters.

03:20Recent polls indicate that many Americans question whether the 81-year-old president

03:24is mentally and physically fit for office.

03:27A Wall Street Journal report highlighted not only Biden's public gas phase but also alleged

03:32signs of cognitive decline in private meetings with US lawmakers.
