There seems to be a sort of a rash of videos that have been edited to make the president appear especially frail or mentally confused. We, and I think you all have called this the 'cheap fakes video,' and that's exactly what they are. They are cheap fakes video, Jean-Pierre began, quoting from a Washington Post headline from last week.
Some of your news organizations have stressed that these right-wing critics of the president have a credibility problem because the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation. We see this coming from your part of the world calling them cheap fakes and misinformation.
Ironically, several recent cheap fakes actually attack the president for thanking troops. That is what they're attacking the president for, both in Normandy. This happened and again in Italy. And, I think that it tells you everything that we need to know about how desperate Republicans are here.
