I can't believe that this has still got legs, much less that it's the banner headline.
President Biden on Monday stood by his comment that Vladimir V. Putin should be removed as president of Russia, but said it was a personal expression of his outrage and not a change in American policy aimed at seeking to topple Mr. Putin from office.
“I
was expressing the moral outrage I felt toward this man,” Mr. Biden
told reporters, rejecting criticism that he misspoke. He said no one
should have thought his comments were meant to be calling for Mr.
Putin’s ouster.
