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."

Didn’t he help Al Gore invent the internet?
Old Joe is setting up an insanity defense for his pending legal troubles.
They replaced Joe’s brain with a Rolodex when he had his brain surgery
The cards were filled with old stories, personal taunts from his past, and Joes witticisms
But now, the pages are tattered, stuck together and some tabs are missing
He just gives it a spin and spews whatever it lands on
This is true according to Brian Williams who was there doing the broadcast. Can’t make this stuff up.
Biden signed the Paris Climate Accords right after mediating the Russo-Japanese War with Louis XIV and Topo Gigio.
The real hoot is that China has opened hundreds of coal-fired power stations and vastly increased its greenhouse gas emissions since joining the fake Accords. The US leads the world in reduction of greenhouse gases, by dint of replacing coal with abundant natural gas for electric generation due to market forces, not government coercion. What an accomplishment Joe.
agree it makes me sad...if this is real it saddens me that no one loved him enough to politely tell those around him to screw off and allow him to maintain whatever dignity he has left.
If this is an act in order to keep him in the race and get people to feel sorry for him so that no one would dare bring charges against him then I can only pray his subterfuge is revealed.
I completely agree!!
