"resident Biden contradicted his own staff Monday by insisting he did not regret or retract his spontaneous call from over the weekend for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be removed from power in response to his invasion of Ukraine.
“I’m not walking anything back,” Biden told reporters at the White House during an unscripted Q&A — after his subordinates strenuously walked back Biden’s initial, ad-libbed remarks.
“I was expressing the moral outrage that I felt,” the president went on, adding: “I wasn’t then, nor am I now, articulating a policy change. I was expressing the moral outrage that I feel and I make no apologies for it.”
When pressed by reporters to more fully explain his stance, Biden said, “I was talking to the Russian people. The last part of the speech was talking to the Russian people, telling them what we thought.”
On Saturday, Biden ended a widely watched speech in Poland by saying of Putin, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
Shortly after that remark, an unnamed White House aide said in a rushed statement to reporters: “The President’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change.”
On Sunday, White House chief of staff Ron Klain retweeted a message from CNN White House correspondent John Harwood that said Biden’s remark showed a “significant lapse in discipline,” while the president told reporters upon leaving church that same day that “no” he wasn’t calling for regime change in Russia.
“What’s getting walked back?” Biden asked.
“It sounded like you told US troops they were going to Ukraine,” Doocy recounted, “It sounded like you said it was possible the US could use a chemical weapon, and it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia, and we know –”
“None of the three occurred,” Biden insisted. “None of the three. You interpret the language that way. I was talking to the troops — we’re talking about helping train the troops in, that are — the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland. That’s the context. I sat there with those guys for a couple hours. That’s what we talked about.”
“So when you said, ‘You’re going to see when you’re there,'” Doocy began, “you were not intending –“
“I was referring to, with — being with and talking with the Ukrainian troops who are in Poland,” the president contended.
“And when you said a chemical weapon used by Russia would trigger a response ‘in kind,'” Doocy prompted.
“It will trigger a significant response,” Biden said.
“What does that mean?” the reporter asked.
“I’m not going to tell you,” the president shot back. “Why would I tell you? You got to be silly.”
“The world wants to know,” Doocy insisted.
“The world wants to know a lot of things,” Biden said. “I’m not telling them what the response would be. Then Russia knows the response.”
(more- lots more)
There was no immediate response from the State Department to Biden’s latest remarks on Monday. Sullivan was supposed to field questions from reporters at a briefing shortly after Biden finished speaking, but he didn’t show up for reasons that went unexplained to assembled journalists."
