How--- Many--- Times--- does President Biden have to answer the same damn question?

His comment that Putin should not be allowed to remain in power was an expression of his personal outrage after meeting with Ukrainian refugees and their frightened children, NOT a rash ill-considered off-the-cuff "policy change".

The former guy did that sort of crap, not the man who WON the last election.

The press not only repeatedly beat a dead horse, they pounded it flat. "Liberal press", indeed!

And they’re hoping he will get rattled enough to commit a “gaff” that they can spend the rest of their week talking about it. Lazy goddamn hacks. In the meantime the real working journalists are getting shot and tortured in war

Some "news" people are trying to get the most mileage out of this non-story as they possibly can and it's making them look ridiculous IMO. It was a perfectly rational statement considering what a horrible creature Putin is and what kind of terror he has released on Ukraine. He lies to his own people and denies them free speech. If unchecked, he will not stop at Ukraine.

Biden has every right to express moral outrage. We here all knew what he meant in his speech in Poland. Too bad media can’t or won’t figure it out.

it was unintentional. Sometimes, that's how you get a message out there by "accident"
