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. ***

I could give Biden a pass because both French President’s names begin with, “M.”
But I won’t.
Biden’s brain is shrinking and he is about to check out. Good Bye, crooked Joe.
France or Germany.
Mitterrand or Macron.
Snails or Schnitzel.
Dead or Alive.
It’s all the same to the Demented One.
A near death experience?
Dad did that in his final couple of weeks
He told the French President that “they wiped my butt”.
She’s been doing it for about a year.
Today when the RN asked her who I was, she said ‘my father’.
She’s recently started repeating short phrases over and over and over and over, like okeydoke, okeydoke, okeydoke, and 12, 12, 123, 123, and there ya go, there ya go, there ya go, and my goodness, my goodness, my goodness gracious.
That’s sad
Sorry to hear that
As is typical, Biden was lying- Katie’s shut down in the 90s.
The point is, it is difficult to ascribe what the inveterate liar says to Alzheimer’s.
Biden’s brain confused Germany and France—and he was thinking about the Maginot line....
It’s good that she doesn’t seem to be distressed, though. Best wishes to her.
(”I sat down and I said, ‘America’s back,’” Biden recalled. “And Mitterrand from Germany – I mean from France – looked at me and said…”)
This week on “Crossing Over” John Edward sits down with Joe Biden....
That boy ain’t right.
I thought he would have said Marshal Petain.
Regime media is covering this.
Looks like they are getting ready to dump Dementia Joe.
That was hilarious. “Senator Tojo” <p<
Thanks
It is what it is. She’s 95 and entitled to it, I suppose...
Our gerontologist (that stills sounds weird, mom and I had the same gerontologist) described her as ‘pleasantly senile’...
