Verdict: False

The image has been digitally altered. The original photo shows Biden pointing a finger, not a gun, at the woman.

Fact Check:  

Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday to discuss the war between Israel and Palestine, their first known interaction in over a month, according to CNN. Biden told Netanyahu that he is not trying to undermine him after Biden said Netanyahu is “hurting Israel more than he is helping Israel,” Axios reported.

A post shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, purports Biden pointed a gun in the mouth of an elderly woman. The image allegedly shows Biden holding the elderly woman’s hand and placing a revolver’s barrel in her mouth.

“damn i cant believe he did this,” the post’s caption reads. (RELATED: Does This Video Show Biden Plagiarizing Hillary Clinton?)

The photo has been digitally altered, however. The original image, posted on Alamy, does not show Biden with a gun. Instead, it shows him pointing a finger at the woman. The caption reads, “Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., left, chats with Annalou Trebitz, 87, of Deerfield Beach, Fla., after a town hall meeting Tuesday, Sep. 2, 2008 at Century Village in Deerfield Beach.” 

A reverse image search shows that the fabricated image has been shared on various social media sites such as X, Reddit and Facebook since at least 2015.
