The campaign staff discussed deceiving the public by labeling the Biden brain blunders as ‘disinformation’ in order to discredit suspicions and boost voter turnout.
A recently unearthed recording of a Zoom call from 2020, attained by journalist Matt Orfalea, showed the Biden/Harris campaign’s efforts to gaslight the public into thinking their candidate was mentally fit for office.

“The recording features Rob Flaherty, the digital director for the Biden campaign, who is now Deputy Campaign Manager; Becca Rinkevich, who served as Biden’s Rapid Response Director and later became Deputy Director of Digital Strategy at the White House; and Tim Durigan, the creator and lead analyst of the DNC Counter-Disinformation Program,” The Gateway Pundit said Thursday.

Flaherty can be heard saying that the Biden team monitored, detected and tracked ‘disinformation’ regarding their candidate, then interacted with internet platforms to remove it under their terms-of-use policies.
Becca Rinkevich, Biden’s Rapid Response Director (later WH Deputy Director of Digital Strategy), also classified talk of Biden’s mental decline as “disinformation”—”disinformation around his mental acuity”. /6 pic.twitter.com/GZMJclMYNs

Rinkevich can be heard discussing combatting ‘disinformation’ regarding Biden’s intellect. It turns out that the team combatted it with targeted psychological operations (psyops) against individuals based on their personalities and psychographic data, a tactic that was widely criticized when used by those on the right via Cambridge Analytica.

The targeted psyops included stalking potential voters across the internet.
If you typed the words “Biden” + “senile” in a search bar, you’d be shown short videos of Biden speaking clearly. Upon hearing this, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes exclaimed, “Wow.” /10 pic.twitter.com/9vNn5RjIb6

It even included showing short videos depicting Biden speaking like a cognizant human when internet users tried to investigate if he was senile, instead of showing them the information they were actually looking for.
‘Armies’ of disinformation fighters were deployed to defend Biden’s lackluster brain.
Joining Flaherty & Rinkevich on Zoom, was the DNC Counter-Disinformation Program creator and lead analyst, Tim Durigan. His reports, according to Flaherty, “went to the highest levels of the [Biden] campaign”. /12 pic.twitter.com/GK0slllW8i

Even if something was true, it did not pass by the authoritative keyboards of the ‘army’ if it was critical of Biden’s mental shortcomings.
A month later, the “really authoritative” NYT celebrated the Biden/Harris team and called concerns about Biden’s mental health, “baseless rumors” and “misinformation” from “right-wing influencers.” /15 pic.twitter.com/o0RvUpuwER

The psyops had a real effect on the election as well. Rinkevich admitted that she believes 200,000 extra votes were cast for Biden due to their tireless efforts of beguiling the public.
To put things in perspective, Biden won by fewer than 200K votes in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, & Wisconsin ***combined*** ? /17 pic.twitter.com/jW2ULDbePw
