In October 2023, the news spread on the Internet that, at the height of the war in the Middle East, the US president was noticed dormant in a beach deck chair. We decided to check if these messages correspond to reality.
Some Russian media (for example, "Arguments and facts" And "Press time"October 23, as well as"Gazeta.ru"Two days later) they reported that the American rapper 50 Cent criticized President Joe Biden for rest on the beach during the political crisis in the United States and the War of the Middle East. The artist allegedly posted on Instagram* photos depicting the head of state dormant under an umbrella from the sun. Many users of social networks also shared posts with such information ("VKontakte" X, Facebook*) And Platform blog. The most widespread news went into Telegram - it was published, in particular, channels "Live broadcast"(732,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Videos in different languages"(204 000),"RT in Russian"(175 000), Voblya (167 000), "Zlaya Prof"(139,000) and"The first folk"(128 000).
October 18, 2023, the American president arrived with visit To Israel, he expressed support to the country in connection with the attack of Hamas, which occurred in the same month earlier, promised to provide humanitarian assistance to the gas sector and advised the Israelis not to succumb to anger due to a terrorist attack, as was the case with the United States after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Two days in Biden Turned To Congress with a request to allocate more than $ 100 billion for military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Israel, as well as for humanitarian aid for the gas sector. He is later He performed With a television thing to the nation, calling the amount requested in the Congress, a “reasonable investment” in the security of the United States. All this happened against the backdrop of a domestic crisis in the States. At the end of September after the long disputes of the congressman Approved A temporary budget that will allow the government to work within 45 days. Soon the House of Representatives (for the first time in history) Sent The speaker is resigned, which actually paralyzed the work of the lower house of the American parliament, and only three weeks later approved new leader.
October 23, the rapper 50 Cent really posted on his page in Instagram Photo by Joe Biden, who is a vacation on the beach in the company of his wife Jill. The post was accompanied by the signature “Hey, Joe, get up, damn it! We have problems, dude. ” The next day artist Laid Another picture of the American politician with his wife, also sitting on the ocean, with a comment: “We have some kind of shit here, Joe. What plan is to light up and relax? " In the Russian -language segment of the Internet, mainly the first post of the musician is quoted.
However, both of these photos of the president and the first lady were taken long before the visit to Israel and Biden's appeals to Congress. A photograph in which the politician is asleep in a deck chair, the Daily Mail publication Published In early August 2023 - then the American president had a week's vacation. The picture from the second post of the rapper first appeared on the Web even earlier - photos and videos of Joe and Jill Biden, reading on the shore of the ocean, were released at the end of July, many media, for example C-Span, Business Insider And Reuters.
Nevertheless, on Sunday, October 22, Biden and his wife really visited the beach of the city of Rehobot Beach in Delaware-a photo of their walks appeared in several American media, for example in Newsweek And Delaware Business Times. Judging by the pictures, it is difficult to imagine that the politician could fall asleep on this day, sunbathing in a deck chair. The President and the first ladies are too warmly dressed for the adoption of sunbathing, because the temperature in the rehobot beach that day did not rise Above 19 ° C. The LEAD Stories fact of the LEAD Stories project with reference to the report of the White House press service also confirmsthat Biden walked that day on the beach near their house in Delaware.
Biden owns a rehobot bead homeand, according to data news agencies, the president holds a significant part of his weekends there, for which he is criticized by opponents from the Republican Party. Deputy Press Secretary of the White House Andrew Bates Commented This situation to Newsweek: “As it was over the most part, the presidents can fulfill the entire spectrum of their duties from anywhere in the world, whether in the war zone in Israel or 100 miles from the White House in Delaware.”
50 Cente is not the first time to express dissatisfaction with Biden. So, during the 2020 presidential race, he I called Vote for Donald Trump despite the fact that he "does not like blacks." The reason for this was Biden’s election promise to raise high income taxes (over $ 400,000 per year) to 62%.
Thus, 50 cent posted on his Instagram page the old Biden photos on the beach, providing them with outraged comments, and many media, social networks and bloggers reposted one of them, did not double -test when the picture was taken, and unreasonably tied it to an actual news agenda. Photos of the US president on the beach on October 22 exist, but the politician is captured by walking along with his wife near the house, where the couple usually has a weekend.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Facebook and Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
