Video Doesn't Show Biden Hosting 'Black Face Skit'

Quick Take

A video clip of Joe Biden jokingly introducing a Black singer at a 1985 fundraiser as “Michael Jackson” has been manipulated and shared with a false claim that Biden was participating in a “black face” skit.

Full Story

A video shared on social media is being used to falsely accuse former Vice President Joe Biden of participating in a “‘Black Face’ skit.”

In reality, the video in question has been manipulated to darken the face of a Black singer at a 1985 fundraiser, whom Biden — then a senator, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee — introduces on stage.

The video is a clip from a Democratic Congressional Dinner during which Biden jokingly introduced a Black singer, Jerome Powell, as “Michael Jackson” and later referred to him as “Prince” — moments that were the subject of a Washington Examiner story earlier this year.
