President Biden told a crowd in Las Vegas on Sunday that he recently met with Francois Mitterrand, the French president who has been dead for nearly 30 years.
He made a goof. But it’s not an innocent one. This is a guy who has chronically told self-aggrandizing lies over the years, and this time he just got a bit mixed up.
For me, it’s not the mix-up that is a red flag to me. No, it is the juvenile narcissistic name-dropping. The story is obviously false, so what intra-psychic need led him to tell it?
