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."

Is this some kind of ploy to mitigate the Ukraine Confession?
Crazy ole coot is always saying crazy ole coot things...so just ignore it all...and oh by the way...can’t testify because..well crazy ole coot.
I attended an event at which VP Biden spoke, roughly ten years back. Much of his speech was coherent (meaning an embarrassingly significant portion was not). The audience was polite, but not effusive or even enthusiastic.
.
Poor Joe. He was born with a silver foot up his cranium.
What difference does it make at this time anyhoo?
At first I thought he was faking it, but his eyes look glassy and his demeanor is classic dementia.
His wife and handlers are dirtballs for allowing this farce to continue.
They just need to say “no”. (The staff should just quit en masse if Joe won’t listen.)
His wife and handlers are dirtballs...
I have noticed a younger brunette at his functions dragging him by hand away from media when he starts running his mouth.
I should feel sorry for the poor bastard but I don’t. Let him humiliate himself in front of the whole world. He deserves ridicule and scorn. The concept of hell as eternal punishment is so we can believe people are going to get what they deserve while we forgive people for their shortcomings as time goes by. But Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas were treated very badly by Joe Biden. I am sure there were many other judges at different levels that got similar treatment when the Democrats controlled the Senate.
So no I don’t feel sorry for him. I hope he wins big in South Carolina and Super Tuesday and keeps running. I am voting for him in the California open primary next month.
Can you imagine the chaos if this clown were ever to become POTUS ?
Don’t worry. His Vice President, Hillary Clinton will quickly put him out of his misery.
Somebody really wants Biden out of the race.
Watching Biden reminds me too much of elder abuse. Who is making sure he stays in the race?
Ahhh ol slo joe was just ahead of the times...
It’s not a misstep. It’s a lie. Joe is a bull-shitter, which makes him the perfect politician.
He also worked on the Lincoln address
Co-produced FDR’s TV fireside chats.
I think he has dementia and he and his family are in denial.
Biden: “There I was, 1975, storming the beaches of Saigon with Che Guevara and Pancho pop corn Villa!”
It’s just sad at this point.
We all know he was talking about the Warsaw Pact negotiations with Napoleon Bonaparte which settled the Polypenisian War and created the nation state of Titikakawanda.
