Rep. Jim Jordan said President Joe Biden’s speech in Poland Saturday night was “more than confusing, it’s dangerous.”
When asked by Fox News’s Lawrence Jones about Biden’s language, including saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power,” the Ohio Republican said he was concerned because the White House had to correct the record.
“Here’s the president potentially having more war-triggering type language than probably any president in American history,” Jordan warned. “We need to be careful and precise in things we say, particularly as commander in chief of our country.”
Jordan pointed to the change in strength on the world stage.
“We went from, you know, Ronald Reagan, ‘Tear down [this wall],’ to the toughness of Trump, to now the president of the United States, President Biden, giving speeches where he basically says, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing,’ Jordan added. “So that is very dangerous.”

Jones noted the mixed messages being sent by the Biden administration, with Vice President Kamala Harris and White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaking in support of sanctions while Biden has said they do not deter Russia’s war actions. Jordan said this sadly should not come as a surprise.
“Frankly, you hate to say this because this is our president on foreign soil and we want it to go as good as it possibly can, but it shouldn’t surprise us. These guys have been wrong on everything,” Jordan said, noting the southern border crisis, America’s lack of energy independence, rising crime rates, and a 40-year high inflation. “They haven’t done anything right, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised when we’re concerned about the statements he’s making and how he’s handling this terrible situation in Ukraine.”

Jordan called for a need to continue supporting Ukraine but with extreme caution for the message being sent to the rest of the world.
“Anything that they say better be careful, better be precise, better be well-thought-out,” Jordan said.
