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. ***

An aide repeatedly told Biden “you mean Macron”

Biden then corrected himself, “Macarons, I love macarons. coconut macarons, chocolate macarons , pistachio macarons, almond macarons…”

Biden’s mind is in the same state at Francois Mitterrand.

This is worse.

Overt lies.

Used to justify jailing political prisoners.

Why do people not realize Biden has been this way since the late 80’s?

'Not a healthy sign'

That's an understatement, especially if you add up the hundreds of other times he reveals his worsening dementia.

I think Biden’s mind is going. All those years he spent in a prison cell with Nelson Mandela in South Africa are finally taking their tool. Or maybe one to many rides on Amtrack? He did ride millions of miles. Maybe brain damage suffered as a truck driver in that 18 wheel Big Rig?

The worst would be living through Beau dying 20-30 times of cancer ALL OVER THE WORLD. Beau seems to have died EVERYWHERE!!!

SO MANY LIES, so hard to keep them straight.

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

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

The 'press' wants taxpayers to subsidize them because they're so corrupt and stupid that people stopped trusting them ('trust' being one of the few things they have to sell) and they're going down.
