Trump's Allies Are Spreading Vicious Lies About A Fake 'Biden Health Emergency' Aboard Air Force One - Ring of Fire



Several allies of Donald Trump spread vicious fake news about President Biden allegedly suffering a "health emergency" aboard Air Force One towards the end of last week, even though no such emergency ever existed. The allies appeared to have created the story, which even caught the attention of Republican lawmakers and Elon Musk who shamelessly fell for it. This is what we'll be dealing with for the next 4 months as Republicans try to paint Biden as frail and deteriorating, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains. - 07/08/2024.



*This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos.

On Friday, multiple different allies of Donald Trump's spread a completely fake story on social media claiming that President Biden had suffered a major health emergency aboard Air Force One. The three people who spread this lie, it began with Monica Crowley, Laura Loomer, and Dinesh de soa. So those three, I don't know if they did it independently or if they had been duped by some other site that they didn't share, but they all three got on social media and claimed that President Biden was suffering at the moment. Uh, in progress, a current severe medical emergency on Air Force One. Here's what Loomer put out on Twitter. Joe Biden is reportedly having a medical emergency on Air Force One right now. Press access has been removed in response to Laura Loomer's tweet, Elon Musk, SpaceX guy, Tesla guy, Twitter guy, he responded with nothing but a, a series of exclamation points.

He fell for it. He believed it. Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah responded to it saying this, if Biden is having a medical emergency at this moment onboard Air Force one or otherwise, that raises a lot of questions. Yeah, it does raise a lot of questions. It raises questions as to how you can be so effing stupid that you'll believe anything these conspiracy theorists put on social media without even second guessing it. Like without even bothering to get on Google and type in Biden medical emergency like that would've taken you 10 seconds, maybe 15, depending on how quickly you type. But you didn't even bother Elon Musk, right? This so-called Genius, blah, blah, blah. Didn't even bother to fact check because that's how stupid that man is. Biden did not, by the way, suffer any kind of health emergency. The uh, video clearly shows him easily walking off Air Force one, getting in the motorcade, no problem.

Not limping, not stalling, not grasping his chest like he's having a medical emergency. Nothing because it didn't happen. These people made it up, and the public, including these high profile people, fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. It was so bad that even conservative writer and commentator, Eric Erickson said this about it. All of you convinced there was a medical emergency on Air Force. One should rethink where you get your news from, and that's from a conservative even. He was like, y'all are freaking stupid, but this is what we will be dealing with for the next four months. They just made it up and put it out there. And that lie traveled all the way around the world instantly, and these high profile people fell for it. Plenty of their followers fell for it and still believe

It. By the way, this is not something that has been widely debunked at this point. There was not enough attention paid to this, right? It was a holiday weekend. So those who saw it when they were on Twitter shortly said, oh my God, Jesus Christ. And then they put their phone away and they went back to their cookouts. That's the problem with this. We live in a society. We live in an age, in an era where you can just make something up and put it on social media, and half the people who see it are gonna believe it no matter what it is. Like I could put out a video right now saying Donald Trump fell into a gorilla pit at the zoo and was quickly savagely beaten to death by the gorillas, right? And I guarantee you half the people watching it would be like, holy crap, I didn't realize that. That's amazing.

Spreading vicious truths about trump.

The two ways conservatives “elect” presidents, Lies and the Electoral College. I’ll hazard a a guess. Without both, we’d never have another Republican president and they know it.

...what actually happened was that trump had a serious case of constipation while he was on board his plane, which wouldn't usually be considered serious, except when he told stephen miller that miller had to try to dig out some of the blockage, miller became sick and turned away from trump who was bent over the toilet backward, and miller's projectile vomit hit and ignited a circuit board near the fuselage which gave trump an electric jolt.

The electrocution forced the fecal blockage free, but trump was standing in such a way that it dropped from his anus directly into his mouth which instantaniously caused a severe case of sepsis.

That's why he hasn't been seen in public lately, and his campaign staff, being the savvy media team they are, knew they had to immediately spin the story so that Biden would seem slightly elderly to the 6 or 7 undecided voters who have never seen any video footage of Biden being the vigorous active senior he is, ever.

But we already know about his deplorable diet - and we also know that he'll never change. Along with his issues with stairs - and even ramps - and his inability to make sense or stick to a topic without mentioning sharks vs boats and his good buddy Hannibal Lecter.

...to borrow some of putin's ukraine virgin's blood that he injects to set back the aging process.

The people at the rnc are concerned he might need a stretcher for his speech at the convention.

They don't just lie about things that have happened, they make things up.
