President Biden held a “cheat sheet” of prepared answers for a key question during his White House news briefing Monday – a question about why his remarks on Saturday suggested support for regime change in Russia.
Several reporters asked the president to address his comment, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” which he made at the conclusion of a Saturday speech in front of the Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland.
Biden insisted he is not “walking back” his comments, seeking to separate his wish for President Vladimir Putin not to be leading Russia from an official policy that would seek to remove him.
“I was expressing my outrage at the behavior of this man,” Biden said, calling the Russian president’s behavior “outrageous” and that his comments about him were “more an aspiration than anything.”
Photos from the conference revealed a cue card for the question.
“If you weren’t advocating for regime change, what did you mean? Can you clarify?” the anticipated question reads.
“I was expressing the moral outrage I felt toward the actions of this man,” Biden’s prepared answer reads. “I was not advocating a change in policy.”
The cue cards also included a lengthy question regarding NATO and a brief, scripted response from Biden: “No. NATO has never been more united.”
