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.

The claim started with far-right activist and conspiracy theorist Laura #Loomer, who posted without attribution that “Joe Biden is reportedly having a medical emergency on Air Force One. Press access has been removed.”

A Community Note, a tool on X, formerly known as Twitter, that empowers people to add context to misleading posts, *debunked* Loomer’s claim, noting journalists traveling with the president reported 🔸there was no incident, and Biden exited the plane on his own.
