Video misrepresents Biden’s departure from White House turkey pardon

Associated Press  

CLAIM: A video clip shows President Joe Biden “abruptly” leaving this year’s Thanksgiving turkey pardoning ceremony at the White House. In a full video of Monday’s ceremony, Biden spends several minutes speaking and taking photos with guests after pardoning two turkeys in an address before hundreds of attendees. THE FACTS: Social media users are sharing a clip from the annual White House tradition, falsely claiming it shows Biden making a sudden, unexpected exit. Immediately after pardoning two turkeys, named Liberty and Bell, sparing them from ending up as part of someone’s Thanksgiving meal, Biden can be seen speaking with Steve Lykken, chairman of the National Turkey Federation, and Jose Rojas, vice president of Jennie-O Turkey Store.
