WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an awkwardly contentious exchange with reporters today, Karine Jean-Pierre claimed the video where she said embarrassing videos of President Joe Biden were deepfakes was also a deepfake.

Confusion arose this week after Jean-Pierre alleged that Biden had been the victim of a smear campaign by right-wing extremists to circulate doctored videos that make the president appear incompetent and feeble, though she now claims the video of her doing so was also a deepfake.

“That’s clearly not a real video of me,” said the black and gay White House Press Secretary, who is gay and also black. “These far-right conspiracy theorists will stop at nothing to spread their dangerous propaganda. Any evidence that allegedly shows me saying video clips depicting the president as unfit to serve were deepfakes is clearly a deepfake.”

Members of the White House press corps proceeded to play a clip of the video from a day earlier, which appeared to show Jean-Pierre labeling the negative Biden clips as deepfakes. “This is you,” said one reporter. “We were here. We listened to you say it.”

“Deepfake!” Jean-Pierre said tersely as she cut the reporter off immediately. “You’re a deepfake. You’re deepfaking right now. This isn’t happening. I’m not here. I’m not saying these words right now. Don’t look at me. Deepfake!”

Journalists reported Jean-Pierre then directed their attention to the back of the room while she sprinted away from the podium and out of the briefing room.

At publishing time, Jean-Pierre had released an official statement claiming that this article was a deepfake.
