Biden torched for claiming that he recently met with dead former President of France: 'Not a healthy sign'

President Biden is being criticized online after he claimed that he met with Francois Mitterrand, the former president of France who passed away roughly 30 years ago.

Biden told an audience in Las Vegas on Sunday about a meeting he had with French President Emmanuel Macron during a G7 meeting in England after he had already assumed the presidency.

"I sat down and I said, ‘America’s back,’" Biden recalled. "And Mitterrand from Germany – I mean from France – looked at me and said…"

François Mitterrand was France's president between 1981 and 1995. He died in 1996.

Biden appeared to trail off before collecting his thoughts to finish the sentence: "Well, how long are you back for?"

Biden was mocked for his flub online, with politicians and commentators asking what was wrong with the president.

"Was Biden the kid in The Sixth Sense?" Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., jokingly asked, referencing the 1999 horror movie.

Show host Graham Allen said that Biden's mistaken claim that he met with a dead French president recently was "not a healthy sign."

Popular X account Libs of TikTok wrote that the clip was a sign of "elder abuse."

*** Biden's comments came while he was warning of the dangers of a potential second Trump presidency ahead of Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Nevada.

The president continued, saying the "Chancellor of Germany" asked him how he – and by extension, the U.S. – would respond if, hypothetically, thousands of people stormed Britain’s House of Commons and killed two "bobbies," or British police officers, to stop the election of a Prime Minister.

The Hill later flagged that the White House, which posted Biden's comments online, released the speech with the name Mitterrand crossed out and replaced with Macron, the current president of France. ***

Why isn’t anyone reporting what Biden and Mitterand talked about?

According to Biden, they talked about Trump storming the Bastille.

I’ve come up with a great idea for a movie script:
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Top neurosurgeons are going to graft Biden’s head onto Obama’s body to get him through the next term. No wait—that’s stealing the plot of “The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant.”

Maybe it’s the ghost of Mitterrand who Biden’s been shaking hands with air with. We just can’t see him.

I think what is actionable is the Harris threshold of incompetence. I’m not sure he’s declined below that yet.

The Babylon Bee had a story today about AOC thinking she’s a ghost or something like that.

Regardless of the names used, Biden’s entire tale was, of course, apocryphal. It never happened. Just another of the lies the old child-molester repeats endlessly to puff himself up.

Biden said, “Trump has de Gaulle to run for a second term.”

Good one. The movie was very good except for Anne Hathaway who makes Jennifer Lopez look like a master thespian.

Biden clearly has Alzheimer’s or dementia. This isn’t even a joke anymore. Its a fact. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in his conversations with Macron. Or a fly on the wall to hear the conversation that Macron had with his aides after meeting Biden.

Harhaway only gets by because she is cute looking. When she opens her mouth, she is just a typical Hollywood leftist elist

So he said he was talking to Mitterrand -the head of Germany.
Problem is, Mitterrand was head of France…30 years ago.

My grandmother did too. She kept saying that the Irish were out to get her. I think she was reliving what her father, who was from Genoa, experienced at the hands of the Irish in NYC.

That’s nothing, just wait until he starts mentioning how he was there in Philadelphia when the founders wrote the constitution.
