Nothing that Obama said contradicts, let alone disproves, the idea that the Biden campaign “believes” he’s working behind the scenes against them. Also, even if Obama is not working against Biden, MSNBC could really have been told that by a Biden aide, making the story correct.

MSNBC just lied, again. Morning Joe just said that the Biden campaign "believes" Barack Obama is "quietly working behind the scenes" to get Biden to drop out of the race. This is a conspiratorial lie. In fact, here is what Obama said about Biden is in own words after the debate.

The statement engages in public discourse by addressing a political issue involving the Biden administration, Obama, and media reporting. It attempts to clarify a point of contention regarding the accuracy of a news report and the intentions of political figures.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to cause harm directly, but it does contribute to a contentious debate.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy and dignity of the individuals involved, focusing on the actions and statements rather than personal attacks. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement aims to promote understanding by clarifying the situation, though it may not necessarily foster empathy or compassion.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive dialogue by addressing the points made in the previous conversation without resorting to personal attacks. [+1]
