This isn't just concerning... it's eye opening. WATCH as former President Barack Obama appears to help guide Biden off the stage after he appeared confused and frozen at an L.A. fundraiser.
But is that what really went down? Or are your eyes deceiving you?
It happened at Peacock Theater in L.A. where $28 million was raised for Biden's campaign.
"Fact checkers" such as the Associated Press have been quick to declare that "Biden paused amid cheers and applause" - and that anything else is "misinformation".

From the AP:
In response to a question at a press briefing on Monday about videos that have been edited to make Biden appear frail or confused, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called such footage “cheap fakes video” that are “done in bad faith.” She added that they demonstrate “everything that we need to know about how desperate, how desperate Republicans are here.”
A source who helped organize, and attended, the fundraiser told the AP that there was nothing noteworthy about this moment and that Obama wanted to be “chummy” by walking offstage with Biden.
Lewis Kay, a spokesperson for Kimmel, called the claims spreading online “nonsense.”
“Attendees in the front were shouting at him, and President Biden was trying to hear them,” he wrote in an email to the AP. “It’s as simple as that.”

REPOST for widespread exposure!
As you can see, Obama appeared to some to handle Biden off the stage - Biden, who appeared to many to be staring into the crowd with a frozen look.
Big names helping raise the cash haul included George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jimmy Kimmel and Obama at the event.
What say you?
