Biden stands by saying Putin shouldn't stay in power: 'I’m not walking anything back'
"But it doesn’t mean we have a fundamental policy to do anything to take Putin down in any way," the president told reporters Monday amid criticism of his remark over the weekend.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Monday stood by his comment over the weekend that Russian President Vladimir Putin can't remain in power, saying he had been expressing his "moral outrage," not signaling a policy change.
"I was expressing my outrage. He shouldn’t remain in power, just like bad people shouldn’t continue to do bad things. But it doesn’t mean we have a fundamental policy to do anything to take Putin down in any way," Biden told reporters following a White House event on the federal budget.
"I’m not walking anything back," Biden said. "The fact of the matter is, I was expressing the moral outrage I felt toward the way Putin is dealing and the actions of this man, which is just brutality."
