Assessment: Sounding like Trump will never be allowed by Biden’s handlers …
Presidentish Joe Biden said in Tokyo on Monday that the United States would “get involved militarily to defend Taiwan,” but now the White House is scrambling to clarify what Biden really meant.
There he goes again.
“I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.” Psalm 38:8 KJV
PJ Media’s own Robert Spencer reminded our readers earlier today that “Old Joe has now, amid the fog of his semi-comprehension, made a commitment to Taiwan that the U.S. has not made in the past.”
That’s why the White House went almost immediately into Full-Bore Panic Mode.
“As the President said, our policy has not changed,” a White House official said according to a Daily Caller report. “He reiterated our One China policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. He also reiterated our commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself.”
But that’s not what Biden said and of course the White House knows it — otherwise, there’d have been no need to clarify.
Maybe someone in the West Wing should establish an Office for Explaining What the President Really Meant to Say. Obviously, it would be a full-time, high-pressure job, presumably with a high turnover.
