CBS News host says Biden contradicted his foreign policy team on sanctions today [VIDEO]

Once again, I’m surprised that the garbage media is giving Biden a hard time on his sanctions comments today.

Here is CBS host and reporter Margaret Brennan pointing out that Biden totally contradicted his foreign policy team with his sanction comments today:

 
Here’s what she said:

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. It is what his Secretary of State said to me on Sunday alone: “The purpose is to do everything we can to deter it, to prevent a war, to deter the aggression and once you trigger sanctions, you lose the deterrent effect.” Vladimir Putin was not deterred….

She goes on to say how Biden suggested that they hoped the new sanctions would at least stop him where he is, that Putin would reconsider not going any more forward with his aggression.

But, she emphasized, President Zelensky has made clear that sanctions don’t help Ukraine when they’ve already been hit by bombs. She said that’s the biggest criticism of sanctions when they are used as a foreign policy tool, that they are only punitive.
