Did Biden Poop His Pants in Rome?
At the end of October 2021, as U.S. President Joe Biden met with Pope Francis during the G20 summit, hashtags such as #poopypantsbiden and #poopgate started circulating on social media, along memes based on the unsubstantiated claim that the commander in chief had a bathroom accident during his trip:
Theres no evidence that this claim and the social media trend that sprang from it were based on anything other than idle gossip.
This claim wasnt derived from photos or videos of Biden, or any credible news reports. This rumor appears to have been started (or at least popularized) by former Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman and frequent Newsmax guest Amy Tarkanian, who posted the following message to Twitter early on Oct. 30:

Did Biden Fart in Front of the Duchess of Cornwall?
An anonymous source told the Daily Mail that U.S. President Biden farted during his meeting with the Duchess of Cornwall. Despite headlines claiming that Camilla Parker Bowles "can't stop talking about it," the Duchess has offered no public comments on the matter. It should also be noted that this rumor started amid a series of unfounded claims regarding presidential farts.
This rumor stems from an article published by the Daily Mail that relied entirely on a single quote from an anonymous source. The Mail wrote:

No other evidence has emerged about these alleged emissions. No other sources have acknowledged this possible piece of presidential flatulence, and while a number of news outlets, such as the New York Post and The Sun, have repeated the claim that the Duchess of Cornwall hasnt stopped talking about it, she has not made any public comments about Bidens breaking wind.

Did Biden Fart During a Town Hall?
In October 2021, an unfounded rumor was circulated on social media that U.S. President Joe Biden had pooped his pants during a trip to the Vatican. While this rumor was made up out of whole cloth, it gained traction on social media, where it trended with hashtags such as #poopgate.
The audio of a fart in this video is not genuine. This audio was added to make it seem as though Biden farted during a town hall.
