Behind Biden, letters IAFF are noticeable - this is an abbreviation International Association of Firefighters (International Association of Fire Fighters). Against the background, it is visible and Logo this organization, representing The interests of more than 334,000 professional firefighters and paramedics. March 6, 2023 Biden He performed With a speech at the legal conference of this association in Washington, and on the same day the first videos appeared on the network with later viral words about the autopsy of the skull.
On the official website of the White House is posted transcription Biden’s whole speech, and on the YouTube channel of the administration of the American president, as well as on the set others, There is Record direct broadcast of the event. After checking them, you can make sure that the quote in the video distributed video is genuine. At the mark 05:42 The US president says that firefighters once saved his life, and then, with 05:51 to 06:08, there is an excerpt that has become a viral. However, immediately after that, Biden calls the story of the search for the brain with a joke and tells how it really was:
But I ... all the jokes to the side, this was what: then there was a snow storm, and I had a cranial aneurysm (Damage to the wall of the blood vessel of the brain. - Approx. Ed.), And an urgent operation was needed. And the doctor, who was supposed to make it, was the best in the district - it was in the [army medical] center Walter Reed- because he operated on so many people.
And I could not get there. President, President-Republican suggested to me to take me Marine One (The call sign of any aircraft of the US Marine Corps, on board the US President.-Approx. Ed.), But he could not fly due to the weather. Then the local firefighting team in the midst of a snowstorm brought me to a nine -hour operation and saved my life.
RBC edition reportsthat the described events occurred in 1998, but this is the wrong date, because then the US president was a democrat Bill Clinton. The operation that Biden spoke about, Spent in February 1988, when the country was headed by the Republican Ronald Reagan, and the future 46th US President was a senator from the state of Delaware.
After the story of the Biden operation told About two cases when firefighters saved his family while he was not nearby. In 1972, shortly after the election of Biden in the Senate, in a car accident Died His first wife and one -year -old daughter, and his two sons took the firefighters from the wrapped car and took him to the hospital. In 2004, due to a lightning strike in the house of the future president arose Feeling: “But you know what? The fire brigade arrived at the place to save my wife, pull her cat and my [car] Corvette 67th year, ”Baiden joked again.
Thus, a video with the true words of the American president, which nevertheless can be misleading without appropriate explanation, spreads over the network. At the full record of his speech, it is clear that immediately after the end of the fragment torn out of the context, Biden directly said that he was joking, but in many online publications this part of his speech is ignored by chance or intentionally.
