Reporters called out the apparent contradiction in President Biden’s claim that no one expected sanctions against Russia to work.
Other reporters brought up this change when reporting on Biden’s comments.New York Times correspondent Michael D. Shear tweeted,"On Feb. 11, Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, said that ‘the President believes that sanctions are intended to deter.’ Today, @potus told us: ‘No one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening.’ Those are basically the opposite of each other.
Fellow NYT reporter Maggie Haberman agreed by commenting,"Shades of what was said after Afghanistan and before it." CBS reporter Margaret Brennan said on the air,"I thought that was so interesting when President Biden said, 'No one expected sanctions to prevent anything.' Actually, that's exactly what his foreign policy team said again and again, and it's what his secretary of state said to me on Sunday."
Other reporters followed suit by contrasting the president’s comments with his administration’s previous assurances.
