White House walks back Biden's town hall words: Clarifies he does NOT have the power to mobilize National Guard to fix supply chain crisis and says he overstepped the mark with vow to defend Taiwan from China

The White House has walked back a number of remarks President Biden made in a CNN town hall Thursday night.

A White House official said that the Biden administration is 'not actively pursuing the use of the National Guard on a federal level.'

'Requesting the use of the National Guard at the state level is under the purview of governors,' the official clarified, according to multiple news outlets.

'The answer is yes,' the president said, asked if he would send in the guard to alleviate supply chain issues that are leading to product shortages and rampant inflation. 'Absolutely, positively,' he added.

Asked if he would consider sending in the guard to drive trucks, the president said: 'Yes, if we can't increase the number of truckers.'

Biden said 'I had a timetable for, first of all to get the ports up and running,' before he would call up the guard.

The walk-back comes as the White House seeks to drum up Biden's sinking poll numbers

Empty suit has never been more appropriate a term.

It wasn't a town hall. It was by invitation only. It was a staged campaign event.

The FCC should fine CNN for an illegal campaign contribution in kind

“Walked back” must be the new term for admitting the lies that Biden told. I guess they were just false statements by the moral definition of a lie. Biden probably believes what he said. Regardless of the “walking back” the false statements are out there and will be repeated over and over and over again on the Internet until Biden supporters believe them.

I guess that’s one way to keep China guessing and on their heels, have a demented President garble one thing and then have peppermint patty say another.

Whew.....so glad that “The White House” cleared that fusterfluff of a town hall, by FJB, up.

Now, let’s find out exactly who is the “White House” doing this walking back.

Same as the Circle Back gal?

Circle back walks back?

Difficult to keep up with these posers.

Just green lighted the CCP to do what it wants regarding Taiwan.

Now we know who runs the Biden administration — the White House.

He’ll give the crowd what he think’s they’ll applause.

In this case the audience were all trained seals. “ort!, ort!, ort!, ort!”

Handfuls of sardines. They ate it up.

This one is on Newsome who resoundingly escaped recall. Truckers tend to be independent, owner operators of a rolling small business. California hates small business, labor has to belong to a union tied in with government. One off operations like trucks are expendable. In the port of LA/Long Beach case, the entire country gets screwed, not just California citizens.
