I want to start tonight by talking about the evolution of a lie.

This is the PIN tweet on the Republican National Committee's Twitter account,

RNC research.

Pinning it, meaning sticking it to the top of their accounts page

means they are proud of this.

They do not want this post to get lost

in the shuffle of all their other posts.

The post shows a video of President Biden

at the G7 summit watching a parachuting demonstration with other world leaders.

And if you only saw the moments the RNC decided to post of this video,

the video makes it look like Biden is confused or wandering off.

The RNC is caption, what is Biden doing adds to that impression.

But if you watch a longer version of that same moment,

or you watch it from other angles, you can see

that Biden is clearly watching other parachutors out of frame and giving them a

thumbs up. But rather than include that context, about 90 minutes after the

R&C posted their video, the New York Post, reposted it. But this time, with the

video crops, so you never see any of the parachuters Biden is looking at, making him

seen even more out of it. And of course, hours later, the RNC's video got the

Fox News treatment. During a parachute demonstration,

Biden got dazed and confused.

How shocking and started to just wander off like that
