In recent days President Biden has recalled two different conversations he claims to have had with world leaders. The problem? Both of the people Biden named have been dead for many years.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday twice referred to the late German chancellor Helmut Kohl instead of former Chancellor Angela Merkel while detailing a 2021 conversation at campaign events.
It was the second time this week that Biden had recalled speaking with a European leader who had died years earlier.
Biden's gaffes Wednesday came at a series of fundraisers in New York as he described conversations he said he had with European leaders at a meeting of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in the U.K. in 2021, months after the Jan. 6 riot.
Biden previously recalled a 2021 conversation he had with former French President Mitterrand, who died in 1996. So either Biden's using a Ouija board or his memory is slipping faster by the day.
This was a line of questioning for Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her Big Book of Ways to Try and Change the Subject today, and she realized things were going south quickly and tried to change the subject:
KJP struggles to explain why the president has repeatedly referred to conversations he's had with dead world leaders in the span of just a few days:

So, this is really what she's going with, eh?
Karine Jean-Pierre tries arguing that it's not uncommon for Presidents to lie about meetings with dead people.

Yikes.
And did you catch that fast and predictable pivot?

You could play a drinking game with how many times Jean-Pierre invokes January 6th to get out of a jam (but be careful because it could be fatal).
Here's the clip. And the bar is already low… But apparently rock-bottom has a basement... https://t.co/cDnCfhWZn6

This entire administration is "rock bottom" and they're determined to take the country down with them.
oh my God, she said "here on earth"

"Here on Earth," where obviously none of the gaslighting liars in this administration reside.
When you have no idea what your president is talking about but you have to make up a story to cover up. 😆 https://t.co/2AZQREz1xm

She’s got nothing…🤣🤡 https://t.co/7otfPmUTzU

If Trump was still in the White House and talked about a conversation he had recently with a guy who died over 25 years ago the "25th Amendment" cries from the Left and media would be hysterical.
