A recently unearthed recording of a Zoom call from 2020, attained by journalist Matt Orfalea, showed the Biden/Harris campaign’s efforts to gaslight the public into thinking their candidate was mentally fit for office.
The campaign staff discussed deceiving the public by labeling the Biden brain blunders as ‘disinformation’ in order to discredit suspicions and boost voter turnout.

“The recording features Rob Flaherty, the digital director for the Biden campaign, who is now Deputy Campaign Manager; Becca Rinkevich, who served as Biden’s Rapid Response Director and later became Deputy Director of Digital Strategy at the White House; and Tim Durigan, the creator and lead analyst of the DNC Counter-Disinformation Program,” The Gateway Pundit said Thursday.

Flaherty can be heard saying that the Biden team monitored, detected and tracked ‘disinformation’ regarding their candidate, then interacted with internet platforms to remove it under their terms-of-use policies.
But in the Zoom call, Flaherty said "misinformation narratives" include "conversation online about corruption or mental fitness…or [Biden's] record on the Crime Bill"—effectively defining "misinformation" as anything that the Biden team found inconvenient. /5 pic.twitter.com/HMKJfokeHG

Rinkevich can be heard discussing combatting ‘disinformation’ regarding Biden’s intellect. It turns out that the team combatted it with targeted psychological operations (psyops) against individuals based on their personalities and psychographic data, a tactic that was widely criticized when used by those on the right via Cambridge Analytica.

The targeted psyops included stalking potential voters across the internet.
“Flaherty and Rinkevich saw the opportunity to grab a voter at a moment of curiosity and then, essentially, keep badgering her as she traveled across the internet,” writes journalist Sasha Issenberg in his book Lie Detectives. /9 pic.twitter.com/AlVkXLlgto

It even included showing short videos depicting Biden speaking like a cognizant human when internet users tried to investigate if he was senile, instead of showing them the information they were actually looking for.
‘Armies’ of disinformation fighters were deployed to defend Biden’s lackluster brain.
Biden's team also deployed an army of online influencers to fight "disinformation". When asked for an example of "disinformation" countered with this "digital organizing," Flaherty's example of such "disinformation" was the "question about [Biden's] mental fitness". /11 pic.twitter.com/pzYCaYSjXP

Even if something was true, it did not pass by the authoritative keyboards of the ‘army’ if it was critical of Biden’s mental shortcomings.
The Zoom host asks about the "big problem" of "true misinformation". Durigan says it's a "huge problem" & wants social media to suppress "true misinformation" to promote "authoritative" news sources like NYT. Big Tech's done that since '18, but apparently not enough for Tim. /14 pic.twitter.com/qg1ioQ8VGY

The psyops had a real effect on the election as well. Rinkevich admitted that she believes 200,000 extra votes were cast for Biden due to their tireless efforts of beguiling the public.
But the Biden team didn't just get the media to forward their deception, they changed real votes. According to Rinkevich, "concern around [Biden's] mental acuity in particular went down by 8 points over the course of our campaign," resulting in "about 200K" votes for Biden. /16 pic.twitter.com/Siqtdoo3y4
