In an interview with ABC News on Thursday, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) said President Joe Biden “was responding at a different time to what leaders are now in certain countries.” “You might mistake it for the time,” he said. Years of experience. “
After host Lindsey Davis asked about President Joe Biden’s reference to Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sissi as president of Mexico, Goldman asked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) about Iran and He mentioned that he was confusing Israel.
Mr. Goldman then brought up Mr. Biden confusing current French President Emmanuel Macron with former French President Francois Mitterand, who died in 1996, saying, “Joe Biden has 50 years of experience. Mr. Biden has 50 years of experience.” And they may mistake the current leader of a particular country for who they were when they were in contact with the leader at another time. I think this is greatly exaggerated, especially following his statements about President Sisi, that whole region, the conversations with Saudi Arabia about normalization and including it in the Abraham Accords. Because there was a solid understanding and understanding. He knew exactly where Iran stood vis-à-vis Saudi Arabia and why Hamas would be interested. This is a person with a solid understanding of foreign policy. And to nitpick just because he clearly has Mexico and Egypt wrong…I think it’s irresponsible, and I have no intention of doing the same thing as Speaker Mike Johnson and the Speaker. I think the media should stop covering this as if it’s something serious, as long as others have made mistakes. ”
