REUTERS/Evelyn HocksteinThe CNN chyron read"Biden: Putin Cannot Remain In Power." In response, Nichols called the network"irresponsible" for highlighting Biden's comments and for framing it as a"war aim.
"I can’t blame them for taking his words and putting them in a chyron, but without context, it makes it seem like this is now what the war is about," Nichols laterWhile Nichols was quick to criticize people who blamed Biden for this"irresponsible" display, he later wrote anPresident Biden speaks to members of the 82nd Airborne Division at the G2A Arena, Friday, March 25, 2022, in Jasionka, Poland.
"What Biden was doing, of course, was being Joe Biden. He was speaking for all of us, from the heart. One of the more endearing things about the president—at least for those of us who admire him—is that he has almost no inner monologue and regularly engages in the kind of gaffe where a politician says something that is impolitic but true," Nichole wrote on Saturday.Biden’s original comment after his speech, insisting that Biden was not calling for a regime change in Russia.
"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," a White House official told Fox News Digital shortly after the speech concluded."This is correct - but just gonna say again, if everyone has to get out there and clarify what the President *really* meant, then he shouldn't have ad libbed it.
