Radio host Dana Loesch said on Monday that former President Donald Trump should capitalize on the White House’s latest defense of President Joe Biden, and she knew exactly how he could make it work for him.
It all started with a series of viral videos of Biden either looking lost or especially frail — wandering away from the other world leaders as they gathered at the G-7 meetings to pose for a photo, for example, or being guided off the stage at a fundraiser by former President Barack Obama.
The White House, when asked about Biden’s apparent confusion, brushed aside concerns about his health and mental state. Instead, they riffed on the concept of “deepfakes” and referred to the video clips — of which unedited clips have also been circulated — as “cheap fakes.”
Unfiltered, unedited, publicly available clips of Biden = cheap fakes & misinformation.

But Loesch suggested that Trump should take the new term and make it his own.

“Now would be a good time for the Trump camp to put up CheapFakes dot com and load it with all the videos of Biden falling up and down stairs, on flat surfaces, gargling marbles, etc,” she said.

“New ‘cheap fake’ just dropped,” RedState’s Bonchie posted, sharing another video of Biden shouting something unintelligible at members of the press.

“These videos are absolutely not ‘deep fakes’ or ‘manipulated.’ Feel free to argue that they’re being mischaracterized, or unfairly portrayed, or taken out of a fuller context. But it’s literal misinformation to pretend the videos themselves are fake. They are not,” conservative pundit Guy Benson said of the White House’s claims.
