WASHINGTON, DC: Even though President Joe Biden did not have a medical emergency on Friday, July 5, while on Air Force One, supporters of former President Donald Trump thought so and disseminated news about a false medical emergency on social media, according to Raw Story.

Biden allegedly had a mid-air medical emergency, according to three well-known MAGA influencers: Dinesh D'Souza of the 'Dinesh D'Souza' podcast, Laura Loomer of 'Loomer Unleashed', and Monica Crowley of the 'Monica Crowley Podcast'. They all posted about it on X.

Donald Trump's allies fall for Joe Biden medical emergency hoax 

Loomer posted on X, "Joe Biden is reportedly having a medical emergency on Air Force One right now. Press access has been removed."



 

Notably, the post garnered more than 8 million views on the social media platform.

Monica Crowley posted, "BREAKING: Biden is reportedly having a medical emergency aboard Air Force One."

Dinesh D'Souza also wrote the same on his X account.



 



 

The false news gained traction after Sen Mike Lee of Utah, a Republican, and Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X, fell for it.

Lee posted, "If Biden is having a medical emergency at this moment — on board Air Force One or otherwise — that raises … a lot of questions."



 

Musk commented '!!' to Laura Loomer's post.

But according to White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates, the allegation was '100% false'.



 



 

In addition, several images and videos showed the President seeming well and fine as he got off the aircraft, and the White House pool report stated that the President's convoy pulled up outside Biden's Wilmington house at around 7.50 pm.

Internet  reacts as Donald Trump's allies fall for Joe Biden medical emergency hoax

Several social media users criticized Trump's allies as they were duped into believing and spreading a false medical emergency on social media.

A user wrote on X, "Delete this Post" while one added, "It incredibly irresponsible for a U.S. Senator to be saying this on Social Media. Mike Lee is touting baseless conspiracy theories and almost sounds like he wants him to have a medical emergency. It’s despicable."



 



 

A person also stated, "They are pushing made up Laura Loomer tales. How sad is it when you’re pushing Loomer as the truth. That would be like me quoting Trump as truthful."

Another mentioned, "He got that from a podcaster who later said it wasn't true. The goal was only to spread propaganda."



 



 

One user said, "Just another MAGA Cheapfake……MAGA fools."

Another said, "Those mofos cannot wait to announce Trump as the next president of the USA."

A person also wrote, "It is so obvious who they fear running against their golden idol, and it's Joe Biden."
