'No': Biden Walks Back His Calls For Regime Change in Russia - Video

The 46th claimed on Saturday that President Putin "cannot remain in power." Amid the domestic and international backlash over the comments, US officials are now trying to soften his words, but the damage has already been done.

US President Joe Biden now claims he did not call for a regime change in Russia.

Mr. President were you calling for a regime change?" a reporter asked Biden as he was. Biden answered, "No."

Biden caused a firestorm after his speech in Warsaw on Saturday, which he finished with rather a bold statement. Even close allies, not to mention Republicans within the US, have considered his words destabilizing.

"For god's sake this man can not remain in power!"

After denying NATO enlargement has anything to do with destabilizing Russia, Biden closes his Poland address with a stentorian demand for regime change in Moscow.

In a desperate attempt to "explain" what Biden had meant, a White House official said that the US president was only suggesting that "Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region," with US diplomatic staff denying that Washington has a policy/goal of a regime change in Russia. Biden's words, however, seem to have sowed doubt in the minds of many Americans and those abroad.

now WH official walks back Biden remark:

"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."

suggests it was a significant lapse in discipline by Biden

Biden has lost his mind.

In Poland, he mistakenly told U.S. troops they were being deployed to Ukraine while also calling for regime change in Russia.

The White House attempted to walk back these gaffes but it’s too late.

We know Biden is a risk to our national security.

Here we go again… another regime change war. The target? Nuclear-armed Russia.

Biden: “For God's sake, this man [Putin] cannot remain in power.”

Regime change is the true intent of Biden Admin’s policies, which will have catastrophic consequences for Americans and world. pic.twitter.com/iOfCbcxOxQ
