| White House Says Biden Fell On ‘Very Windy' Day. Donald Trump Jr: Technically, It Was A ‘Moderate Breeze' |
| 2021-03-21 |
| [WIRE] Donald Trump Jr. fact-checked the White House on Friday after a spokeswoman blamed President Joe Biden’s fall on the stairs of Air Force One on the wind. White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the weather was "pretty windy" when asked about Biden’s stumble while boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews on his way to Atlanta. Video online shows Biden, 78, stumbling several times and falling once while walking up the stairs to board the plane before reaching the top, turning, saluting, and boarding. "It’s pretty windy outside," Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard the plane. "It’s very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100 percent fine." Trump Jr. then pulled up a general weather report for Joint Base Andrews for Friday, showing that wind speeds were expected to average 14 miles per hour. He also pulled up a guide on wind speeds from the National Weather Service (NWS) showing that wind blowing 13 to 18 miles per hour is classified as a "moderate breeze." "Wind moves small branches," the NWS description says. "Wind raises dust and loose paper from the ground and drives them along." |

| #11 Does anyone else remember Yuri Andropov's prolonged absence due to "a bad cold"? The White House is sounding more and more like the 1980s Kremlin all the time. |

| #6 From The Spectator: Did Vladimir Putin — a ‘killer’, according to Biden this week — slather the steps with Russian oil? We know he would stop at nothing. |

| #3 Should have stayed on his meds schedule instead of waiting to get on the plane. |
