At his second and third events in New York, he told donors about conversations surrounding Jan. 6, 2021, at his first Group of Seven meeting as president, which took place in England in June of that year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Biden said Kohl asked him what he would say if he learned 1,000 people stormed the British Parliament in an attempt to deny the next prime minister from taking office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The annual meeting was not attended by Kohl, as he had been dead for four years, but by former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The gaffe\u00a0is similar to the one Biden made on Sunday after he claimed he spoke with Fran\u00e7ois Mitterrand, a French president who died in 1996, at the same G-7 meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I want to just step back for a second and just kind of think really kind of top level of what the president was talking about when he tells a story about having these conversations with world leaders, which are obviously important conversations. He was underlying the Jan. 6 events in 2021, what happened,\u2019 Jean-Pierre said Thursday when asked about the matter. \u2018The message that it sent around the globe, around the world to our leaders, to world leaders, how dangerous it is, our democracy, how important democracy was and or is continues to be, obviously.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As it relates to the names and what he was trying to say,\u00a0many people, elected officials, many people, you know, they can misspeak sometimes, right?\u2019 she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre then cited a handful of examples of what she said were mistakes by media and political figures.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And so this happens. You know, it happens to all of us and it is common,\u2019 Jean-Pierre argued. \u2018But I do want to make sure we don\u2019t forget what the overall arching kind of theme, what he is trying to say about our leadership on the global stage.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u2019 Elizabeth Pritchett contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended President Biden on Thursday when asked about a gaffe in which the president said he spoke in 2021 with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl \u2013 who actually died four years earlier \u2013 arguing that misspeaking \u2018happens to all of us, and it is common.\u2019\u00a0 Biden had made the remark <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":15307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-15306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
