Is it true that Biden called himself the most pro -Russian president in the history of the United States?

In mid-June 2023, the Russian-language segment of the network bypassed a video in which the 46th president of the United States makes a rather unexpected statement. We checked the authenticity of this shooting.

On a 19-second video, you can see a fragment of Joe Biden's performance-judging by the posters that took place as part of his re -election campaign. The orders of his words is this: “I am proud that I am the most pro -Russian president in American history. I promised you that I would do so. But this is what I am really proud of, what I am really proud of is that I was re -elected the most pro -Russian president into the source ... "

With comments in the spirit of “Biden broke”, this fragment bypassed many social networks - Twitter, Facebook, "VKontakte" YouTube. The news received special distribution in Telegram - the video shared, in particular, in the channels "Observer"(237,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Truthfulness"(216 000),"Putin in Telegram"(216 000),"Uncle Glory"(169,000),"Bullet"(150 000),"Scott Ritter in Telegram"(143,000) and"Special operation z"(78 000).

April 25, 2023 Joe Biden officially announced The nomination of their candidacy in the presidential election in 2024. An important role in this campaign is played by interaction with American trade unions - in the past, the political activity of Biden in this direction even Bring He is the nickname Union Joe (trade union Joe).

His previous presidential campaign Biden Started In the city of steel - Pittsburgh. This time, the first large -scale meeting with potential voters took place on June 17 in Philadelphia, at eventsorganized AFL-CIO. This Federation of 60 trade unions, which unites 12.5 million workers, supported Candidates of the current head of state and vice president of Kamaly Harris on the eve of the 2024 elections.

Transcript Biden's performances in Philadelphia are posted on the White House website, and Video recording You can see on the official AFL-CIO channel on YouTube. As follows, all the speech of the current president was devoted exclusively by the American working and economy of the country - he said nothing about Russia and other foreign policy topics.

During his speech, Biden declared (10:45): “As you know, there are many politicians in this country who cannot say the word“ trade union ”. But you know that I am not one of them. And I am proud that I pronounce this word. I am proud that I am the most pro -Profsoniy president in American history. I promised you that I would be them. But what I am really proud of is that I am going to re-elect as the most trade union president in history. ” The politician also spoke his desire previous years.

If you compare the two videos - trade union and spreading through social networks - then you can make sure that this is the same episode of Biden's performance in Philadelphia. However, the author of the viral video translated into the Russian word Pro-Union not as “proofsemia”, but as “pro-Russian”, which is completely incorrect and cannot be a simple accident-after all, the word union does not look like Russia. There are also some grammatical errors (for example, the translation of the English pronoun You as “you”, although “you” are required according to the context).

Note that the reaction of the authors of the video was quite fast-Biden's performance ended on June 17 at 21:11 Moscow time, and a video with Russian dubbing appeared at 21:39 in the Telegram channel "Rupost". In another pro -Kremlin channel, ""Putin in Telegram", The same video was posted at 22:00, but metadata indicate that it was loaded in Telegram back 21:38:58, 22 seconds earlier than video from "Ruposta". Two video clips differ only in a water sign and, apparently, come from one common source-perhaps not even open. At least these are the two earliest known “checked” cases of downloading video with this ordered translation into Telegram.
