World Leaders Laugh At Biden After Boris Johnson Has To Remind Biden Of Something That Just Happened

[Ubiquitous]

World leaders laughed at President Joe Biden during a roundtable event at the
G7 over the weekend after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had to remind
Biden of something that had just happened moments before.

Sky News posted the clip on social media, which showed Johnson introducing
world leaders who had just joined the event. In the clip, Johnson introduced
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who was the only black leader in the
room, and, after Johnson introduced him, Biden introduced the president of
South Africa and pointed at him in a manner that suggested that he did not
know that he had just been introduced.

“… to say how pleased I am to welcome those who have just joined us in some
pretty spectacular weather,” Johnson said. “With them, Prime Minister Modi,
President Ramaphosa, President Moon …”

“And the president of South Africa,” Biden interjected.

“And the president of South Africa as I said early on,” Johnson responded.

“Oh, you did?” Biden asked.

The room erupted in laughter.

Biden was widely mocked online after the incident, with many describing it as
an embarrassing moment for the United States.

This is advanced late stage dementia.

The entire world sees it and laughs nervously as our corporate media
cheers Biden for ordering his own ice cream cone.

I vividly recall liberals screaming how Trump was embarrassing us
abroad.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather my allies and foes view me as
arrogant than view me as a fool.

But that's just me and my ego is big. https://t.co/9eS0Lf04BW

It was not the only moment during the G7 that Biden appeared to struggle as
he repeatedly referred to Libya as he spoke to the press.

Biden said [emphasis added]:

And so, there’s a lot going on where we can work together with Russia.
_For example, in Libya_, we should be opening up the passes to be able
to go through and provide — provide food assistance and economic — I
mean, vital assistance to a population that’s in real trouble.

I think I’m going to try very much — hard to — it is — and, by the way,
there’s places where — I shouldn’t be starting off on negotiating in
public here. But let me say it this way: Russia has engaged in
activities which are — we believe are contrary to international norms,
but they have also bitten off some real problems they’re going to have
trouble chewing on.

_And, for example, the rebuilding of — of Syria, of Libya, of — you
know_, this is — they’re there. And as long as they’re there without
the ability to bring about some order in the — in the region, and you
can’t do that very well without providing for the basic economic needs
of people.

So I’m hopeful that we can find an accommodation that — where we can
save the lives of people in — for example, in — in Libya, that —
consistent with the interest of — maybe for different reasons — but
reached it for the same reason — the same result.

Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted that aides told her that
Biden meant to say Syria instead of Libya.

Everything's just fine. Nothing to see here.
