The apparent mix-up took place during a Sunday campaign event in Las Vegas, in which Biden recounted a Group of 7 (G7) meeting he attended after being elected in 2020.
Biden said one of the first things he said during the meeting was “America is back,” which he said prompted a response from “Mitterrand from Germany,” before correcting it to “from France.”
“And I looked at him, and … the chancellor of Germany said, ‘What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the paper tomorrow in the London Times, and London Times said, “A thousand people break through the House of Commons, break down the doors, two Bobbies are killed in order to stop the election of the prime minister.” What would you say?
Biden’s remarks continued with criticism of former President Trump and his recent “poisoning the blood” comments he used to describe the effects of immigrants coming into the United States.
Several of his political opponents and some voters have used Biden’s apparent mix-ups and gaffes to further fuel their argument as to why he is too old or unfit to be president.
Biden’s political rival, Trump, 77, faced similar criticism last month after he appeared to mix-up his main GOP challenger, Nikki Haley, with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) while discussing the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots.
