A PBS News reporter faced ridicule on the Internet on Monday after telling President Biden that he had more foreign policy experience “than any president who has ever held this office”. This flattery came as Biden defended his controversial statements about Russian President Vladimir Putin to White House reporters. While in Poland, Biden said Putin “could not stay in power.” The White House immediately withdrew the president’s provocative remarks, but made headlines internationally, with journalists and political leaders criticizing the unwritten comment as a dangerous blunder that could escalate into the ongoing war in Ukraine. On Monday, Biden defended himself before reporters at the White House. Fox’s Peter Dussi has been at loggerheads with Biden over his government, backing down on controversial allegations that the United States will send troops to Ukraine if Russia uses chemical weapons, and proposing regime change in Russia. However, the president claimed that his comments were misinterpreted and denied that his government had withdrawn anything controversial.

Can you help us understand? Do you have more foreign policy experience than any president who has ever held this office?” Critics have accused the journalist of ignoring American history.

Former President Obama’s Secretary of Defense Robert Gates famously described Biden as “wrong on almost every major foreign policy and national security issue in the last four decades.” Despite the compliment, Desjardins continued to pressure the president to consider his seriousness without his comment script. “Whether these are your personal feelings or your feelings as president, do you understand why people would think of you as someone who runs one of the world’s largest nuclear arsenals saying that one can not stay in power is a statement of US policy? “Are you also concerned about the propaganda use of these remarks by the Russians?” Biden asked. But the president said he was not worried. “No one thinks we will drop – I was talking about Putin’s downfall. No one would believe that,” Biden told reporters, adding that he was simply expressing his “moral outrage” at Putin. CLICK HERE TO RECEIVE THE FOX NEWS APPLICATION
