Senator Mike Lee is spreading false news about Biden's medical emergency

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) falsely reported that Biden received a medical emergency aboard Air Force One Friday night.

Lee posted:

If Biden has a medical emergency right now, whether on Air Force One or otherwise, that raises a lot of questions. https://t.co/KgnlflGxSd

There are several problems with this claim.

According to the White House report.

The motorcade stopped at the president's home in Wilmington at 7:50 p.m. Pul has not seen the president.

On the way, the motorcade passed several protesters with a banner reading “Free Palestine” and signs that read:
“You cannot repent for the genocide”.
“Genocide is never justified.”
“Condemn Israel's war crimes”.

Confirming from the latest pool report. in response to the question whether he will watch the interview, the president said. “I will, yes.”

President Biden could not provide emergency medical care on Air Force One because the president was already at home in Wilmington. Biden was not even on the plane.

However, the sitting US senator was not afraid to publish misinformation about the president's health.

There was no emergency medical care for Biden.

Republicans are now trying to capitalize on the Democratic hysteria with misinformation, which is why Democrats need to get it together, stop their tantrums, and get back to the business of winning elections.
