After he said that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power,” they were lost for words and gave a ridiculous explanation to try to water it down or walk it back that is just amazingly dumb.
“[Biden’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,” said a nameless White House official to the pool reporter.
What? That response is out of context, besides being stupid and an insult to those of us with intelligence.
And check out Ben Rhodes trying to spin this craziness:

This fool, Biden, has got to be put out to pasture before he gets the entire world into a hot mess.
Fortunately, President Trump, we can well presume, is in frequent communication with Vladimir Putin and all is well between the real United States of America and the real Russia.
