Here are nine instances — since Biden took office — in which he thought he had a conversation with a dead or non-existent person.
🧵/ THREAD:
February 2024: Biden claimed he met with “Mitterrand from Germany” during his first foreign trip as president in 2021.
Mitterrand was the president of *France* between 1981 and 1995, and he died in 1996.
February 2024: Biden, at two separate closed-door fundraisers, claimed he spoke with former German chancellor Helmut Kohl during his first foreign trip as president in 2021.
Kohl, who was the chancellor of Germany between 1982 and 1998, died in 2017.
January 2024: Biden claimed he took a photo with Rep. Deborah Ross, who was not at the event: “Where’s Deborah? I just had my picture taken with her…”
OFTEN: Biden has repeatedly told a fake story about an Amtrak conductor who congratulated him — “seven years into” his vice presidency — for traveling millions of miles on Amtrak.
The conductor retired in 1993 and died in 2014, making it impossible.
October 2022: Biden claimed he once “spoke” to the inventor of insulin — who died before Biden was born.
September 2022: Biden asked if deceased Rep. Jackie Walorski was in the audience: “Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?”
She had passed away in a tragic car accident just a month earlier.
Biden routinely forgets names — including his cabinet secretaries, world leaders, former presidents, and celebrities — thinks Kamala Harris is “president,” confuses policy, makes up stories that never happened, and gets lost leaving stages.
It’s only going to get worse.

Aftyn Behn doesn't think looting and violent rioting is a problem.
BEHN: "Property can be replaced."
BEHN: "It is not for us to decide, as privileged White people, how marginalized communities express their suffering, and their pain... You should not condemn it...their generational trauma that has been inflicted upon them by the police, by institutional racism."
