President Joe Biden, 81, has made several public gaffes recently, confusing deceased European leaders with their living successors. At fundraisers in New York, Biden incorrectly claimed to have spoken with former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who passed away in 2017, about the January 6th Capitol riot while recounting a story from a G7 meeting in 2021. This mix-up follows a similar error where Biden conflated France's late President François Mitterrand with the current President Emmanuel Macron, and also involved mistaking Angela Merkel for Helmut Kohl.

At a fundraiser on Wednesday night, Joe Biden said he met Helmut Kohl on January 6th. Kohl died in 2017. This latest dementia moment comes two nights after he mixed up Emmanuel Macron with the former dead president of France François Mitterrand. Mitterrand died in 1996. https://t.co/jTkqJPe5X5

We're well beyond infirm. This is Joe Biden's mental transmission slipping between 2nd & 3rd gear. He confused a dead French president w/the current one - Mitterand & Macron. Last night, he confused Helmut Kohl, also dead, w/Angela Merkel twice at 2 different events. https://t.co/I6fWb7JHvD

Biden once again mixed up heads of state. His mistake occurred while he told a well-worn story about his first G7 summit. On Sunday, he conflated Macron with Mitterrand. Today he confused Merkel for Helmut Kohl, who died 4 years before the 2021 summit. https://t.co/F2x4KkViEc

Tonight, at two separate fundraisers, Biden "seemed to say that Helmut Kohl (who died in 2017) was there with him at his first foreign trip as president, talking about Jan 6th," according to pool reports. Angela Merkel was the German chancellor in 2021.
Another slip at Biden’s fundraisers tonight- via pool “… at the 2nd and 3rd events today POTUS seemed to say that Helmut Kohl (who died in 2017) was there with him at his first foreign trip as President talking about Jan 6th…Angela Merkel was the German chancellor in 2021.”
