Biden gaffe at G-7 summit sparks laughter from world leaders (didn't hear Bojo introduce South african leader)
NY Post ^ | 6-14-21 | Bruce Golding

President Biden embarrassed himself at the G-7 summit when he tried to correct British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for not introducing “the president of South Africa” — even though Johnson already did so by name.

The blooper — one of several Biden made amid the series of meetings with world leaders — prompted laughter at his expense at the start of a roundtable discussion in Cornwall, England.

The awkward incident took place on Saturday, according to Sky News, which posted a video clip and a transcript online.

After mentioning how the visiting dignitaries had brought “some pretty spectacular weather with them,” Johnson introduced Indian President Narendra Modi, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

At that point, Biden — seated between Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron — interjected.

Boris Johnson insists to Joe Biden that he already introduced the president of South Africa to a G7 meeting.

“Mister Biden, DO try to keep up with the group.
Would a second cup of Tea help your concentration, maybe?”

Biden is incapable of embarrassing himself. When he remembers that he is the president, he thinks he’s doing swell…

Not good when the G7 laughs at your President.

Of all the picayune, inconsequential, meaningless things to interject about...and then get that simple thing WRONG.

Everybody learned at home, school and work that you pipe up over important, consequential things. There's an old Mark Twain saying that is apropos here...

My father-in-law has dementia or Alzheimer’s. In 2018 he lost his wife due COPD/emphysema and CHF from smoking all her life.

In 2019, he lost his daughter to a hemorrhagic stroke.

His cognition has gone done a lot since that time.

It’s never pretty, and when you’re the President of the United States, you really shouldn’t be anymore.

We need a pool on when Joe first challenges some world leader to a push up contest or calls him fat, etc.

The senile old fool just likes to argue, like many liberals.

Boris is lucky he was not called a Dog Faced Pony Soldier, or worse.
