Utah Sen. Mike Lee shared a baseless claim on social media about President Biden suffering a health emergency on Air Force One. That claim was quickly debunked.
On Friday evening, Utah Sen. Mike Lee used his personal X/Twitter account to amplify a baseless claim that President Joe Biden was having a “medical emergency” on Air Force One . It’s unclear if Lee tried to verify the falsehood before sharing it with his 224,000 followers.
If Biden is having a medical emergency at this moment — on board Air Force One or otherwise — that raises … a lot of questions., claiming there were “conflicting reports” about Biden’s health. Lee made no attempt to distance himself from the inaccurate report. A few hours after helping to spread disinformation online, Lee attacked the media for being untrustworthy. He also claimed thatabout whether Lee tried to verify the falsehood about Biden before posting or why he felt Crowley was a credible source for the information.
Lee’s spreading of misinformation came amid a now regular habit of frenzied posting on X/Twitter. On Friday, Lee posted on the platform 58 times, close to his average pace. Over the last 30 days, Lee posted nearly 1,800 times, almost 60 per day. The most he’s posted in one day during the last month was 151 times on June 28.
