Now Biden Claims He Spoke to Dead German Chancellor at Same Summit as Dead French Prez.

Joe Biden has blundered again while describing a G7 summit in 2021, claiming Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany – who left office in 1998 and died in 2017 – spoke with him about January 6th.

Previously, Biden told an audience in Nevada he spoke to “[President François] Mitterand from Germany, I mean from France” at the G7 in Britain, in a story first reported by The National Pulse.

Press pool reporters say the 81-year-old Democrat managed to remember Emmanuel Macron was President of France when repeating the story at a subsequent fundraiser in New York but instead gaffed when he came to the Chancellor of Germany.

“Helmut Kohl of Germany looked at me and said, ‘What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the London Times tomorrow morning and learned that 1,000 people had broken down… the doors of the British Parliament and killed some  bobbies on the way in [to] deny the Prime Minister to take office?’ And you think, what would we think?”

Biden repeated a similar story later that day, again claiming Helmut Kohl made the remarks in 2021. In that year, Germany was led by Angela Merkel.

Another slip at Biden’s fundraisers tonight- via pool

“… at the 2nd and 3rd events today POTUS seemed to say that Helmut Kohl (who died in 2017) was there with him at his first foreign trip as President talking about Jan 6th…Angela Merkel was the German chancellor in 2021.”
