RNC Research’s clip showed Biden shaking hands with French President Emmanuel Macron and beginning to sit as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is called to be the next speaker.

Embarrassing is an understatement….THERE IS NO CHAIR‼️‼️”

The RNC Research account went after Mediaite for also correctly calling out the video hoax.
