<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Joe Biden committed his second historical bungle this week, saying on Wednesday he had spoken with the late German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in 2021. Kohl died in 2017.</p>
<p>Biden made the mistake while telling a group of donors about his first Group of Seven event back in 2021. The Group of Seven is a meet up of leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the United States.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“First got elected president I went to a G7 meeting with seven heads of state in Europe and I sat down and said America’s back,” Biden said. &#8220;And the president of France looked at me and said — for how long?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“And I never thought of it this way,&#8221; Biden continued. &#8220;And then Helmut Kohl of Germany looked at me and said, &#8216;What would you say Mr. President if you picked up the London Times tomorrow morning and learned there&#8217;s 1000 broken down the doors of the British parliament. Killed some [inaudible] on the way in, to deny the next prime minister to take office.&#8217; And you think, what would we think?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The actual German chancellor at the time was Angela Merkel.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">At a later event the same day, Biden reiterated that he had spoken with Kohl at the meeting.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Sunday, Biden referenced the 2021 G-7 meeting in the United Kingdom and a gathering of NATO leaders that took place <a href="https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/biden-g7-summit-updates-06-13-2021/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in June of 2021</a> in which a conversation about the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6 apparently came up.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I sat down and I said, &#8216;America&#8217;s back&#8217; and Mitterrand from Germany — I mean from France looked at me and said, &#8216;You know why — how long you back for?'&#8221; Biden recalled, invoking François Mitterrand, the former president of France, <a href="https://twitter.com/RaheemKassam/status/1754606767898849444" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a widely shared post</a> to X by National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam along with a clip of the remarks.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">WATCH: Joe Biden says he recently met with “Mitterand from Germany.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A glaring issue with that recollection is that Mitterrand, who served as president of France from <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20210510-an-extraordinary-politician-fran%C3%A7ois-mitterrand-s-presidential-victory-40-years-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1981 to 1995</a>, has been <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/01/09/francois-mitterrand-dead-at-age-79/3dae3670-8d49-43ae-9de1-d95e138af6ce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dead since 1996</a> —roughly 25 years earlier. At the time of the G-7 meeting in 2021, Emmanuel Macron was president of France.</p>
