71. because the 'staffers' (including SoS Blinken)

Tue Mar 29, 2022, 08:45 AM

Mar 2022

were saying exactly the same thing that Biden said here. (not advocating regime change) Which Biden went on to reiterate, again.

"But I want to be clear that I wasn’t then nor am I now articulating a policy change.”

"Nobody believes we're going to take down, that I was talking about taking down Putin."

except that a lot of people certainly did - or were at least seeking 'clarification' that it didn't.
