At the end of December 2023, a record dispersed on the Internet, which states the US president hugging with the void. We decided to check whether anything like this happened in reality.
In the 28-second video, Joe Biden stands behind the stands, and then turns to the camera with his back and leaves, gesturing and as if turning to someone who is not visible to the viewer. The video, accompanied by derogatory comments, showed some Russian media, for example, "Ren-TV". TV channel "360»Placed a video on his blog on the Zen platform. Internet users shared a record in social networks ("VKontakte" Instagram). Popular Telegram channels, for example, wrote about the alleged embarrassment of Biden, for exampleObserver"(197,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Solovyov"(196 000),"Uncle Glory"(175 000),"Not Morgenstern"(143,000),"Pool N3"(113,000) and others. Most of the posts contain the same comment:“ Handsome with an invisible interlocutor is the stage. Now Biden hugs with emptiness. "
December 20, 2023 Joe Biden I visited In Miluoki, Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce, which unites black entrepreneurs on Wisconsin. There, the American president told how he and his administration contribute to the development of the small business of the black population of the United States, and criticized his predecessor Donald Trump for his anti -immigrant statements.
This performance was shown by many television channels, including CNBC, from which the fragment scattered over the network is taken from the broadcast. The operator of this channel shot the president close-up, so Biden on the video really looks strange-as if he really addresses someone invisible, because there is no one in the frame except him. However, earlier in the same broadcast You can seeThat the audience sits on both sides of the rostrum.
If CNBC showed Biden in one plan, then in the official broadcast White House It is removed from different sides and on different numbers. On these frames it is also clearly seen that behind the president there are listeners, to whom he obviously turned after the end of his speech.
The video recording of the White House breaks off immediately after Bayden’s performance, and the dispersed moment did not hit her. But it is clearly visible in the broadcast of the TV channel C-Span (after the 18th minute). The angle of shooting allows us to understand that Biden gestured and talked with real people present in the hall, and not at all with emptiness, as many Internet users wrote.
The earliest publication of a fragment of the broadcast with a comment on the hugs with the void, which “verified” was found in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet, appeared on December 21, 2023 at 09:55 Moscow time in the Telegram channel “Pool N3". Literally a few minutes later a video with the exact same commentary Placed A few more pro -Russian channelsThen during the day it was published in Telegram hundreds of times. “Verified” more than once convicted “pool N3” in the spread of false information, in particular fake covers magazine Charlie Hebdo and others publications. I published a channel and torn from context videos with Biden - for example, those where the US president says that Sold many state secrets or what he opened The skull box to make sure of the presence of the brain. In the English -language segment of the Internet Video With similar comments about the hugs with the void, I also dispersed, but all posts, which we managed to find, were published later than in the “N3 pool”.
Thus, a video where Biden allegedly tries to hug with a void after his performance is nothing more than a fragment of the broadcast of one of the American television channels. At the same time, on more complete videos in other sources it is clear that the audience is sitting behind the politician, to which he addresses.
