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

Is anyone but me absolutely terrified that this idiot carries on regular phone conversations with Chinese and Russian heads of state? Are his the loose lips that will launch a thousand nukes toward us? It’s far past 25th Amendment time. The man’s a mis-speaking delusional national crisis.

We didn’t elect the Whitehouse (we didn’t elect Joe Bidem for that matter). So I want to know who in the he’ll is making these decisions? Who is overriding or coercing the President? Darn it, it is patently obvious that there is a non-elected entity running this country. This calls for intervention.

Threatening Xi with war is the most stupid thing Biden has done among every other stupid thing, to date.

What a FJB idiot. And all the Biden voters who put this moron in office.

He can’t send in the NG to alleviate supply chain issues because his Union bosses won’t let him. The Union logistics operators are content with the speed they are working.

Dean Acheson did the same thing back in January 1950 by defining our perimeter in detail and deliberately excluding Korea.

Our enemies back then, as they will today, interpreted that as indicating that saying we will not intervene if they invade.

Our enemies my be evil, stupid, or whatever, but one thing that is not a shortcoming with them is recognizing weakness.

Interesting, to retrospectively look at Leftist explanations, they use pretzel logic to try and relieve Dean Acheson and the State Department (and the Truman White House) of any culpability.

In reality, they Leftists are far more craven and evil today than they were back in 1950.

nObama’s administration had to clarify what that dolt meant all the time too.

When Barry wasn’t lecturing the American people.
