Biden mixes up presidents of Mexico and Egypt in speech defending memory



Biden mixes up presidents of Mexico and Egypt in speech defending memory

I’m of the view as you know that the conduct of the response in Gaza in the Gaza Strip has been um over the top I think that uh as you know initially the president of Mexico CCE did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in I

Talked to him I convinced him to open the gate I talked to B to open the gate on the Israeli side I’ve been pushing really hard really hard to get humanitarian assistance into Gaza there are a lot of innocent people who are starving a lot of innocent people who

Are in trouble and dying and it’s got to stop

Joe Biden on Thursday mistakenly referred to Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as the leader of Mexico. The comment came as he was making remarks on a special counsel report concerning his handling of classified documents, and that referred to his memory as ‘poor’, which he denied in an angry rebuttal.

The US president also said Israel’s offensive on Gaza has been ‘over the top’ – his sharpest criticism yet of Tel Aviv’s conduct during the war.
As Joe Biden took questions on the special counsel’s report investigating his possession of classified documents, he said: ‘There are a lot of innocent people who are starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying.’ During the press conference, Biden also mistakenly referred to the Egyptian president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, as the president of Mexico.

  1. I think he’s getting border crisis mixed up. And it sounds like the president of MX wasn’t initially too keen on opening our borders and allowing the cartels to thrive.

  2. Hy!

    In the Grouptherapy we found this :
    "He said that just as he could not convince President Sisi to open the borders to Gaza, he could not open the border to Mexico."

  3. I think that this error can be understandable, because i know (i'm not american) that there is a problem in Mexico at the border, the events seem similar and maybe the president has had a slip of the tongue

  4. What Sleepy Joe, was trying to say is how he got the President of Mexico to open up our Southern Border. So refugees from Gaza and every other country could cross in to the US.

  5. This is a clear case of dementia, no human in his right mind can mix Mexico, Israel and Gaza all together. Mexico and Gaza are different continents, 8000 miles away from each other. Keeping him as a leader of nuclear power is insanity.

  6. HE is actually talking about egyptian president opening up a portal on the mexican border so that all the palestinians can enter into it and go to mexico directly….
