President Joe Biden faced widespread ridicule on social media after a brief video was shared by his team, showcasing his acceptance of President Donald Trump’s debate challenge.
Observers noted the presence of multiple “jump cuts” in the video, fueling speculation that despite its brevity, Biden made numerous attempts to deliver the message accurately, relying on a teleprompter for guidance.
“In a super short 14 second video, the Biden campaign needed to do 5 jump cuts because Crooked Joe couldn’t deliver a clean reading. Total disaster,” Trump campaign official Steven Cheung posted on X.
“Biden’s video has 5 cuts in 13 seconds,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) wrote with laughing emojis.
“What will Biden do in a debate when his many handlers can’t edit and splice his sentences together.”
“Biden made five cuts in 14 seconds to say 51 words,” conservative podcast host Graham Allen added.
“I think the world knows who will win this debate.”
“Biden needed 5 cuts to make it through this 13 second video,” noted conservative Daily Wire pundit Matt Walsh.
“lol. Biden’s comms director says he ‘did not mince words’ in this video. They literally cut them up,” talk radio host Vince Coglianese said on the X platform, posted alongside a clip of Biden-Harris campaign director Michael Tyler’s interview on MSNBC.
“This 14 second video had so many cuts its almost like a claymation film,” conservative writer and editor Jay Caruso observed mockingly.
