The so-called clean-up campaign, he has told advisers, undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise. Worse, it feeds a Republican talking point that he\u2019s not fully in command.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frustration over the walk-backs reportedly reached a turning point when Biden, speaking on March 26 in Poland, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/26\/joe-biden-vladimir-putin-cannot-remain-in-power\/\">declared<\/a> that Russian President Vladimir Putin \u201ccannot remain in power.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/20\/white-house-cleans-up-joe-biden-comments-ukraine-midterm-election\/\">(RELATED:\u00a0White House Scrambles To Clean Up, Clarify Biden\u2019s Comments On Ukraine And 2022 Election)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The administration walked back the comment moments after his speech concluded, with a White House official saying that Biden \u201cwas not discussing Putin\u2019s power in Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President\u2019s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region.\u00a0 He was not discussing Putin\u2019s power in Russia, or regime change,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<p>Biden became \u201cfurious\u201d over this moment, according to NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden was furious that his remarks were being seen as unreliable, arguing that he speaks genuinely and reminding his staff that he\u2019s the one who is president,\u201d NBC News reported.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7440072\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7440072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. President Joe Biden gets a message from an aide during a meeting with his White House COVID-19 Response Team on the latest developments related to the Omicron variant in the Roosevelt Room in the White House in Washington, U.S., December 16, 2021. REUTERS\/Evelyn Hockstein<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The administration appeared to push back on the suggestion that Biden is frustrated \u2013 and perhaps doesn\u2019t have full insight \u2013 over the clean-up campaigns, according to the network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t say anything that the president doesn\u2019t want us to say,\u201d an official told NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern has been noticed by other lawmakers, too. Democratic New Jersey Rep. Tom Malinowski <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/05\/24\/biden-walk-back-remarks\/\">suggested<\/a> to The Washington Post that sometimes, aides should \u201clet the president\u2019s words stand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are times when presidents being human misspeak and the staff being responsible has to clarify, but I think in this, and other recent cases, Biden is just speaking plainly what we all understood to be the case anyway,\u201d Malinowski, a former State Department assistant secretary, said. \u201cIn such cases, it\u2019s generally best to let the president\u2019s words stand rather than walking things back in ways that raise further questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, the White House has stood by the barrage of clarifications made since Biden took office, with White House spokesman Andrew Bates telling The Post that the president \u201cspeaks directly and candidly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president speaks directly and candidly \u2014 straight from the shoulder, as he often says,\u201d Bates said. \u201cDoing so has been critical to his success in everything from rallying the world to support Ukraine to passing the most significant infrastructure law in generations. And when he feels the need to add context to something he said, as every president has, he doesn\u2019t hesitate to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden is reportedly \u201cunhappy\u201d that aides continuously walk-back and try to clarify statements and stances he\u2019s made, according to a report published by NBC News.The Biden White House<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":125,"featured_media":1497924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1497913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1497913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/125"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1497913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1497913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1497924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1497913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1497913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1497913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
