Republican members of Congress were caught pushing disinformation online that President Joe Biden fell asleep during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) cited the video in her demand that Biden be removed from office.
Remove Joe Biden immediately!\n\nOur country is in danger being controlled by a man who can\u2019t even stay awake in a meeting with Israel\u2019s Prime Minister.\n\nWe have already seen his decisions as Commander in Chief! 13 dead & our military demoralized!\n\n#ImpeachBiden or 25th now!https://twitter.com/tpostmillennial/status/1431724854047395847\u00a0\u2026— Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1630186103
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) also pushed the disinformation online.

The only problem, the video was "nonsense" according to CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale, who dunked the disinformation.
