who in the White House walked back what he said ? then he says he is not walking it back? who is in charge?

[thomabb]

Remember when everyone thought Trump would bumble his way into WW3? And here we are, a career politician steering the ship right over the waterfall. Awesome.

[clickclack]

He won't apologize for something he doesn't remember saying.

[mikehall]

America feels the same way about Biden "Cannot remain in Power"

[wenku]

He basically he said he does not need to walk anything back because no one believes what he says anyway. If you voted for this guy and still support him, you need a cognitive test as badly as he does.

The problem isnt what he said. Its that he said it. We should be de-escalating. Biden chose escalation for a personal political moment. It was stupid. And NATO expressed as much in response.

Even you did but at the end it won't end very well, Brandon

[lanliu]

Why does he need apologize? Apologies for what? He is right

[hmdrake]

Trump never apologized for anything and said whatever he wanted to.
but it's different when Biden does it.

[LisaRichards_]

Anyone thinks Putin should stay in power is insane.

[Douglas.N.]

I stand by what president Biden said. No walking it back!

[notmyrealname]

Did everyone catch the part in the press conference when he said "Going back to 100 years ago when I was a young senator." 🤣🤣🤣

If oBiden was removed from the office it would be a great day for America’s families

[computerproducts]

Wonder how he would feel if leaders around the world said he couldn't stay in power?

[ssgta]

NOPE!!!! When you stand behind the mic, whatever you say, you say officially as an ambassador.
Let me put it to you this way. In the military, when you are in uniform, ANYTHING you say is considered an ‘official statement’. In a press conference, you’re speaking as the president. THIS is why you can’t say things as personal opinion in an official capacity.
Keep your opinions to yourself.

That's ok, he doesn't remember saying it anyway!

Mussolini and Hitler had a time to go as well. Unfortunately the Russian people seem to keep dictators around a lot longer.
