Says Chuck Norris recorded a video in response to the Biden administration saying, “Our great country and freedom are under attack.”

False

Chuck Norris clip urged Americans to vote against Obama — it’s not about the Biden administration

If your time is short

  • This is an old recording from 2012 urging Americans to vote against then-President Barack Obama.

“You f—– up now Joe!” reads the description of a video featuring actor Chuck Norris. “You done pissed Chuck Norris off!” 

In the video, Norris is standing with his wife and says, “We are here to talk about a growing concern we all share. If we look at history, our great country and freedom are under attack. We are at a tipping point and quite possibly our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don’t change the course our country is headed.”

He goes on to say they can no longer stand by and watch the country “go to socialism or something much worse.” 

This Jan. 22, 2022, post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

That’s because it wasn’t filmed in response to President Joe Biden, as the post suggests. 

Rather, Norris and his wife recorded this in 2012 to urge Americans to vote against then-President Barack Obama, who was up for re-election against Sen. Mitt Romney. Of course,

Biden was Obama’s running mate at the time, but the video is now being presented in a way that suggests it was created recently in response to the current administration. That’s not accurate.

We rate claims that this a video in response to the Biden administration False.
