Biden Lashes Out at Reporter’s “Stupid Question” After Ukraine Gaffe
NY Post | 1/20/2022 | Steven Nelson

President Biden lashed out Thursday at a reporter for what he called a “stupid question” about Russia potentially invading Ukraine — as the White House scrambled to clean up Biden’s Wednesday gaffe that Russia may face less blowback for a “minor incursion.”

As reporters were escorted out of a science-focused meeting next door to the White House, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich shouted, “Why are you waiting on [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to make the first move, sir?”

Biden’s answer was not captured on the official video livestream, but press audio engineers recorded him saying, “What a stupid question,” according to a pool report by Yahoo’s Alexander Nazaryan.

Biden and his aides tried repeatedly Thursday to walk back the “minor incursion” remark — made during a 1 hour, 52 minute press conference — as horrified Ukrainian officials warned that Putin may see it as a “green light” to invade.
