Kohl, who served as Chancellor of Germany between 1982 and 1998, died of natural causes in 2017 – five years and two days before the riot.
Biden said: “I showed up … and I sat down and said, ‘America’s back,’ and [French President Emmanuel] Macron looked at me and said, ‘For how long?’ How long? Not a joke.
“Helmut Kohl said, ‘Joe, what would you think if you picked up the phone and picked up the paper tomorrow and learned in the London Times, on the front page, that 1,000 people stormed the Parliament, broke down the doors of the House of Commons and killed two bobbies in the process … trying to stop the election of a Prime Minister?’”
The G7 in the UK was the last summit attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom Biden would host for her last foreign trip before stepping down the following month.
Biden reportedly made a similar mistake at a previous event at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel for a fundraiser hosted by Dr. Ramon Tallaj.
