The Biden campaign has reportedly established a special task force to mitigate the impact of embarrassing real videos of Joe Biden it dubbed “cheap fakes.”
The White House and media have doubled down on claiming recent clips of Joe Biden wandering off at the G7 Summit and Obama grabbing his arm to escort him offstage are “deepfakes” and “manipulated” videos.
Now, the Biden camp has created a task force specifically to hamper the viral impact these kinds of clips are making in the 2024 election landscape and called on social media companies to ramp up their censorship efforts.
“A Biden official said the campaign has established a taskforce to mitigate the risks posed by AI and cheap fakes, but stressed that the responsibility rests with social media platforms and news companies,” Politico reported Tuesday.
“Voters deserve accurate information to inform their choice this November and our campaign will be vigilant in calling out these lies when we see them,” Biden campaign spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg told the outlet.
“We hope media organizations and others with influential platforms follow our lead,” she added.
Former Obama White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer also stressed Joe Biden’s performance in his upcoming debate with Trump will prove to be much more critical for his reelection chances than short viral clips.
“Ultimately how the President performs in high-profile moments like the debates will be exponentially more impactful than some clips circulating on TikTok,” he said.
Social media users have been having a field day calling out the left’s next-level gaslighting, mocking their desperation and re-sharing older clips of Biden falling down, stumbling, and speaking incoherently.

KJP claimed that the videos of Joe Biden freezing are “cheap fakes” and “manipulated.”
Someone in the White House Press corps should ask if it includes these. pic.twitter.com/60Ndv19wNz

Biden’s little censorship task force certainly has their work cut out for them.
