Foiled Again! QAnon Conspiracy Dashed By Real Live Biden

By Frances Langum — March 18, 2021

Alas, we live in a world where we have to "fact check" if Joe Biden is alive and walking towards reporters on the White House Lawn...

...or is it a lizard person
or Trump in a mask
or a deepfake
or a movie set
or CGI
or is the REAL Joe Biden dead since 1970?

All FALSE.

Since Biden was inaugurated, QAnon supporters have pushed false claims of supposed proof that Biden hasn't really been president & his activities as president haven't been real. This may be the first time those claims have in some manner really spread elsewhere in the far-right.

On YouTube, this false conspiracy theory has gotten tens of thousands of combined views. At least 2 of those videos have ads, meaning YouTube has made money off of this false conspiracy theory. pic.twitter.com/kuM1ee8bTX

There appears to be a mental illness rampant in the United States that will not allow for a Democratic president to just exist. And there are social media companies all too willing to make a buck off of this insanity.

So there are, today, in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty One, FACT CHECKS when Joe Biden walks toward reporters with cameras outside the actual White House. And those reporters have to tweet that yes, he was there.

I was the one holding the lighter-colored fuzzy microphone and thus literally in front of @POTUS on the South Lawn. It's all real. Who actually believes this 'faked moon landing' type nonsense and more importantly who is spreading it? https://t.co/9V3t0oqDz6

That large, grey microphone is actually further to the right of Biden's hands, not in front of them.

There are multiple videos of the exchange taken from other angles as well as images.

Obviously, there's no green screen or CGI at play.

And, yes, Biden is alive and real... pic.twitter.com/9pF3C9RF8d
