He said this man should not remain in power. What person in their right mind thinks that someone who bombs innocent people, children, a country that is in unprovoked war should remain in power? Now, if he had said on the other said of that, so I think we should do something to take him out of office, that would be a different thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuite honestly, I think this is a media-manufactured story,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd the media \u2014 it\u2019s in the media\u2019s interpretation.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CNN&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/donlemon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DonLemon<\/a> defends Biden: &#8220;He did not end that speech saying that Vladimir Putin should be removed or we\u2019re going ta take him out of power.

He did not say regime change. I think that was the interpretation,\u201d Lemon continued. \u201cAgain, the generals we had on our air, people who are familiar with foreign policy, [said] perhaps the president should be a little more precise with his language. I will give him that. But I think to blow this out of proportion to say the president was doing some thing about making a regime change, I think it\u2019s out of proportion to what is going on. We\u2019re in the middle of a war\u2026who would think he should be in power at this moment? So, I think that we need to take a step back and stop trying to make it into something that it is not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lemon doubled down on his comments on <a href=\"https:\/\/go.cnn.com\/vod\">his own program<\/a> Monday night. \u201cThe president is saying exactly what most of the world feels about Vladimir Putin,\u201d Lemon reiterated, while describing the destruction in Ukraine. He also expressed surprise that the White House walked back Biden\u2019s comments in the first place. \u201cI was surprised this weekend when they did do that. I think calling someone a war criminal is much harsher than saying they shouldn\u2019t be in power,\u201d Lemon said, referring to previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UCwepXYG_zU\">comments<\/a> Biden made on several <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nowthisnews\/status\/1507385099624587272?s=20&#038;t=gVl4NzLrtby1r7pWXJThQw\">occasions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Lemon\u2019s comments, the White House was forced to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-rushes-to-clean-up-disastrous-remarks-biden-made-about-putin-during-speech\">walk back<\/a> Biden\u2019s remarks shortly after he made them at a speech in Warsaw, Poland, on Saturday. \u201cFor God\u2019s sake, this man cannot remain in power,\u201d Biden said as he closed his speech, in what appeared to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnJHarwood\/status\/1507775712022994945?s=20&#038;t=1gNgXid5dPDQQo0_X88jUQ\">many<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MaxBlumenthal\/status\/1507787824912904211?s=20&#038;t=1gNgXid5dPDQQo0_X88jUQ\">observers<\/a> to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aaronjmate\/status\/1507800984923381766?s=20&#038;t=1gNgXid5dPDQQo0_X88jUQ\">call<\/a> for regime change.
