JOE BIDEN CLAIMS TO HAVE WORKED ON 2016 PARIS CLIMATE DEAL WITH CHINESE LEADER WHO DIED IN 1997
Newsweek ^ | 2/25/2020 | David Brennan

Posted on 02/25/2020 3:15:37 PM PST by RightGeek

Presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to make another misstep during a campaign event in South Carolina on Monday, claiming to have worked on the Paris Climate Accord with former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, who died 19 years before the agreement was signed.

The former vice president spoke at the College of Charleston on Monday as the Democratic presidential hopefuls prepare for Saturday's South Carolina primary, which the Biden campaign is hoping will supercharge his as-yet sluggish charge for the party nomination.

Biden touted his two terms as vice president under President Barack Obama, arguing his experience made him the right person to take on and defeat President Donald Trump.

The former vice president cited his work on the Paris Climate Accord—from which Trump withdrew early in his presidency—as evidence of his ability to work with world leaders and gain their support for multilateral projects.

But Biden, who has made multiple blunders while on the campaign trail, undermined his point by apparently confusing Chinese leaders, claiming to have worked on the deal with former premier Deng Xiaoping who died in 1997.

"One of the things I'm proudest of is getting passed, getting moved, getting in control of the Paris Climate Accord," Biden told the crowd. "I'm the guy who came back after meeting with Deng Xiaoping and making the case that I believe China will join if we put pressure on them. We got almost 200 nations to join."

THIS.... is the Standard Bearer of the Democrat Party?
Boy, are they up a creek w/o a paddle.
But, nevertheless, we should take nothing for granted.
They WILL try to carve out something that looks like a win.
Bank on it!

China didn’t join. Maybe if he had talked to Xi Jingping about it, he might have. But Deng Xiaoping was dead set against it.

Since the death of Lloyd Bridges, Biden appears to be angling for the role of Tug Benson in the event of a third Hot Shots movie.

I remember my mother-in-law at stage 3. At stage 4, she was unable to speak, but at stage 3, she would scream out curses for no reason. He’s only stage 1 or 2, but should be nowhere near the nuclear football.

Somebody remind Joe that during a seance, you hold hands with the one next to you. You are not supposed to put your hands on their bare thighs. That’s not going to revive any spirits!
Well, not the other-worldly kind of spirits.

This is going from comical to pitiful. The Dims have really got a world class freak show going on for a presidential primary.

Joe’s pretty sure that was Deng. He asked his friend Sun Tzu for the introduction.

I was really hoping Joe could keep the car on the road until October. Nope.
