Biden frustrated with aides for walking back his statements, worries he looks weak

President Joe Biden is reportedly frustrated with his staff in the White House and their efforts to "rush to explain" something the president has said.

"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’s not fully in command," NBC News reported Monday.

The White House has walked back several of the president's statements, including when Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power."

The president was angry that his comments were being interpreted as unpredictable, according to the NBC report. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates pushed back on the NBC report.

"The breathlessness of paragraphs 1 & 2 versus the denial being relegated to graph 28 tells you what you need to know about this story. And as we've said before, no clarifications of the President's remarks are ever issued without his direct approval," he said in a statement.

"We don’t say anything that the president doesn’t want us to say," an official reportedly told the outlet in response to a question about clearing up the president's statements.

The White House has walked back and clarified a few statements the president has made, in addition to the one about Putin.

Other Democrats are frustrated as well, according to NBC. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., said that the White House has not been able to introduce an "intellectually honest" inflation plan.

Biden also feels that he isn't getting credit where credit is due from the media or Americans with regard to the economy, NBC reported.

“When will they “walk back” this story?”

They’ll circle back to you on that.

What fueled his rise is hiding in the basement and 2000 mules.

Sounds like they already did.

Dementia Joe needs to have a good look at that 25th amendment, section 4, or maybe have some of his staff help him with the big words: a majority vote of those underlings places his illegitimate presidency in front of Congress. So be nice, Joe.

He doesn’t look weak. Carter and O’Bummer looked weak. Biden looks like a retard.

I’m surprised Biden is even aware of what he said or the ramifications. He is concerned that his staff on constant clean up makes him look weak. I’m betting that “Dr” Jill is the one who is concerned
