Biden’s supposed “senior moment” wasn’t the aging Democrat’s only blunder at the weekend-long G7 summit in Cornwall. News footage on Saturday showed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson correcting Biden, after Biden introduced the president of South Africa after Johnson had already done so. The video then shows Johnson apparently attempting to stop Biden talking to the group of world leaders at a meeting.Biden’s supposed “senior moment” wasn’t the aging Democrat’s only blunder at the weekend-long G7 summit in Cornwall.
