The Trump campaign recently demanded an apology from the Biden administration following the narrative it touted regarding Biden’s apparent cognitive decline. Throughout Biden’s presidency, he has demonstrated signs of deteriorating mental and physical health through numerous gaffes and public slip-ups.
In the aftermath of last week’s presidential debate, which went very poorly for Biden, there is a near-unanimous agreement among Democrats in the media that the president’s decline is irrefutable. Many have suggested that it may be time to consider another presidential candidate to represent the Democratic Party.
As a result, the Trump campaign has requested that the White House apologize for slamming conservatives for sharing “cheap fakes,” where officials, such as White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, claimed they were sharing intentionally manipulated or out-of-context videos to hurt Biden’s image.
The American Tribune previously reported on KJP’s comments where she said, “I think you all have called this the ‘cheap fakes video,’ and that’s exactly what they are. They are cheap fakes video … They are done in bad faith. And, some of your news organizations, have, have been very clear, have stressed that these right-wing, the right-wing critics of the president have a credibility problem, because the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation, disinformation.”
“It’s only been a week since our fantastic team @TrumpWarRoom & @RNCResearch were wrongly accused of editing ‘cheap fakes’ to make Biden look bad,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on social media the day after the debate. “The Democrats, and of course their mouthpieces in the Fake News, peddled this ridiculous lie.”
She added, “We actually had to spend time fighting ‘journalists’ on this ridiculous narrative and telling them Americans can believe their own eyes! Now everyone sees there’s NOTHING fake about Biden’s decline. We were right and simply sharing the TRUTH!”
“We will take an apology now,” Leavitt demanded while simultaneously tagging the Biden campaign and other media outlets that touted the narrative as well. However, when asked by Fox News Digital about the Trump campaign’s request for a response, the Biden campaign
“Trump lied countless times during the debate and so does his campaign, in real life and on the internet. Trump lied Thursday about whether he called fallen soldiers suckers and losers, and he’s still triggered that mainstream media fact checkers called out his cheap fakes. So sure, we will amend our previous statement: Trump is not just a liar he is also a pathetic loser,” according to a spokesperson on behalf of the Biden campaign.
Leavitt asserted that the Biden White House not only owes Trump an apology, but also American citizens. “The Biden White House and entire Democrat Party are both directly implicated in the greatest coverup in U.S. political history — and the mainstream media is complicit in their lies to the American public about Joe Biden’s mental state. They owe an apology to not just our campaign, but more importantly to the American people, for this major scandal that has led to the demise of our country over the past four years,” she stated.
