Conservatives Keep Spreading Rumor Biden Fell Down the Stairs Today in Poland — Here’s Their (Ridiculous) Proof
Videos now circulating on social media have sparked speculation that President Joe Biden possibly fell down the stairs of Air Force One when he arrived in Poland over the weekend.
The President traveled to Warsaw and on Monday made an unannounced visit to Kyiv, Ukraine’s Capital city, just days before the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion, Newsweek reports.
“Today, in Kyiv, I am meeting with President Zelensky and his team for an extended discussion on our support for Ukraine,” Biden said in a statement.
He’s also pledged over $500 million in additional military aid to the embattled country and new sanctions against Russia.
“I will announce another delivery of critical equipment, including artillery ammunition, anti-armor systems, and air surveillance radars to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments,” Biden announced in a statement following his surprise visit.

Newsweek went on to note that Ukraine is an active war zone and the U.S. military has no control there.
But when Biden arrived in Warsaw, social media users shared videos of someone really taking a tumble down the steps of a U.S. government airplane. However, it’s not clear if this plane is Air Force One.
“Did Joe Biden fall down the stairs of Air Force One AGAIN when landing for his Ukraine visit?” wondered conservative commentator Benny Johnson on Twitter.
“Who is this?”

Collin Rugg retweeted the same video and wrote, “Someone appears to have fallen out of Air Force One. What are the chances it was Joe Biden?”

Then there’s Twitter user T-Rex, who wrote, “Biden fell in Poland coming out of Air Force One,” when retweeting the video. “Y’all think he’s all there?”

But, according to a White House spokesperson, the person who fell wasn’t Biden. Biden doesn’t walk down the back stairs. Biden descends the stairs FIRST, and not with a bunch of people around him. This is so easily proven that it’s not Biden, you have to ask why MAGAs are spreading such a ridiculous lie.
And a video, shared to YouTube by ABC News, shows Biden walking down the steps of the airplane WITHOUT falling. By contrast, the video that shows the person falling down the steps shows several other people milling around. In the video of Biden, we see him walking down the stairs alone.
We’re facing increasing tensions with Russia and China but people are wondering about something this silly when there’s a video out there showing the president walking down the stairs just fine. How typical.
Here’s Biden NOT falling down the stairs in Warsaw.
