Biden snapped at a CNN reporter ‘Kaitlan Collins’ on Wednesday as she grilled him about the Geneva summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
At the end of Biden’s press conference, in which he boasted about his productive meeting with Putin, CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked Biden why he was so confident that the Russian leader “will change his behavior.”
It was a little intense. He was rude and his statement was uncalled for.
Collins asked Biden why he was so confident that Vladimir Putin “will change his behavior.”
“What in the…?” Biden snaps before stopping mid-sentence. “Why do you do that all the time?”
“I said what will change their behavior is if the rest of the world reacts to them and it diminishes their standing in the world. I’m not confident of anything,” the president said.
“I said what will change their behavior is if the rest of the world reacts to them and it diminishes their standing in the world. I’m not confident of anything,” the president said.
Collins followed up by pointing out that Putin’s “past behavior has not changed” and he showed no signs of conceding during his own press conference moments earlier.
“How does that account to a constructive meeting?” Collins asked.
“If you don’t understand that, you’re in the wrong business,” Biden replied before walking away.
