President Biden Now Stands By His Comment That Putin 'Cannot Remain In Power'

 

Daily Mail: Biden STANDS BY his comment that Putin 'cannot remain in power' but insists he was 'expressing moral outrage not policy change': Claims three Russia gaffes DIDN'T HAPPEN despite White House having to walk them back 

* President Joe Biden on Monday faced a barrage of questions about Putin 

* On Saturday he said: 'For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power' 

* Under pressure, he said he was not 'walking anything back' 

* And he said he had been expressing outrage rather than announcing new policy 

President Joe Biden on Monday tried to clarify his comments about not allowing President Vladimir Putin to stay in power, insisting he was expressing his outrage at the Russian leader's brutality in Ukraine rather that unveiling a new U.S. policy. 

The U.S. president alarmed allies and partners on Saturday when he said at the end of a speech in Warsaw: 'For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.' 

The White House quickly tried to walk back the comments, saying the president meant Putin could not continue to wield power over neighbors.
