Psaki confronted on Biden's 'stupid question' hot mic comments
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is asked about President Biden's 'stupid question' hot mic moment during a question about Ukraine and Russia.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki was confronted Friday over President Biden's dismissal of a question about the Russia-Ukraine conflict as "stupid," saying he did in fact not dismiss the idea of "proactive deterrence."
Biden was caught on a hot mic muttering "what a stupid question" after Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked him, "Why are you waiting on [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to make the first move, sir?" Biden earlier this week sparked an outcry in Ukraine and around the world after he suggested a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine would merit a different response than a more full-scale invasion.
"Is the president aware that he was caught on a hot mic yesterday? Why does he appear to be dismissing the idea of proactive deterrence?" Heinrich asked Psaki at Friday's briefing.
