USA TODAY has debunked a series of videos that feature attention-grabbing captions but actually show completely unrelated footage. One recent example purportedly shows Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calling for President Joe Biden to be impeached.
"'Biden Should Be Impeached': Congress ERUPTS As DeSantis HUMILIATES Hunter Biden to his Face," reads the video's caption in an Oct. 2 Facebook post.

In the clip, DeSantis also discusses the space exploration industry.
