Right-wing media outlets use deceptively cropped video to misleadingly claim Biden wandered off at G7 summit
Right-wing media outlets used a deceptively cropped video to misleadingly claim President Joe Biden wandered off during an event with other world leaders at the
G7 summit in Italy on Thursday.
In the full, unedited video, Biden – who was standing with the group of leaders as a parachutist carrying a G7 banner landed in front of them – briefly turned away to give a thumbs-up to several parachutists who had landed behind the group, along with a parachute rigger who was kneeling on the ground to pack up one of the skydiver’s chutes and the French flag.
Other leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, also did the same thing.
