Well yes, it is a sad state of affairs that large swaths of politicians will ignore or double down against a fact check. But with that said, I’m not letting them off the hook for the initial twisting of facts. Just acknowledging when they have the right response.
There’s no indication Biden was referring to that Tweet. For that matter, the White House Twitter account is likely run by its own PR staff that isn’t going to asking Biden’s speechwriters to taking out some silly vendetta against Twitter’s Context system.
Yeah, the statement just coincidentally got published right after the white house got fact checked by Twitter. And obviously Biden doesn’t actually do anything himself. He barely knows where he is at this point. The point is that the statement is what got officially published using his name.
The Independent posted that because that’s what factually happened. Just because something gets published in right wing media doesn’t make it automatically false. There is a ton of footage of Biden ambling about seemingly unaware of his surroundings. There is even an episode at G7 where his wife had to usher hims out some restaurant he stumbled into.
This is ridiculous. This sort of stuff happens all the time to everyone else. People get momentarily confused about what the plan is or they are looking around for someone. The only reason Biden is catching flak for this is that Trump started a narrative around it back in 2019 with “Sleepy Joe Biden”. Now millions of Trumpers are combing through every bit of Joe Biden footage available to find the most minute slip up.

The response from Biden was to claim that “Twitter spews lies across the world”. That’s a pretty childish reaction to getting caught lying.

Most politicians have better things to do than be on Twitter all day. Trump was an aberration in that sense.
LOL. That’s been floating around the right wing conspiracy sites, but I didn’t think you indulged.
ah yes, the right wing conspiracy sites like The Independent 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4b131aHxCs
Not sure why The Independent posted that, but that was widely pushed right wing propaganda.
