Can executive actions save Democrats in the midterms?

<p>In recent weeks, progressives have issued a dire warning for Democrats. If President Joe Biden doesn’t try to get more done via executive action, they argue, voters won’t turn out because they’ll feel like the party hasn’t delivered for them.</p>
<p>“If the president does pursue and start to govern decisively using executive action and other tools at his disposal, I think we’re in the game,” Rep. Alexandria <a href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/03/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-i-was-right-about-joe-manchin.html">Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told New York magazine</a> in an interview this week. “But if we decide to just kind of sit back for the rest of the year and not change people’s lives — yeah, I do think we’re in trouble.”</p>
<p>In March, the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) <a href="https://progressives.house.gov/_cache/files/6/8/68a45450-d818-4c0c-a564-cd85ea395d47/88561AA25D995B4AF31FCC6F40CA177D.cpc-recommendations-for-executive-action-3-17-22.pdf">unveiled a slate of 55 executive actions</a> they’ve recommended Biden take, including canceling student debt, changing rules around overtime pay so more workers are eligible for it, and reducing prescription drug prices.</p>
<p>When it comes to mobilization, progressives are correct. Democrats need to do more to energize their base after the party failed to pass the expansive social spending legislation and voting rights protections they promised to advance in 2020.</p>
<p>Given their narrow majority in the Senate and the impasse they’ve faced there, it’s possible executive action might be the only route Democrats now have for certain policy changes.</p>
<p>Whether executive action will be enough to stem their overall midterm losses, though, is unclear.</p>
<p>Typically, there’s significant pushback against the president’s party in the midterms, a dynamic that’s likely to be compounded this year by Biden’s poor approval ratings. <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/democrats-worry-a-lot-about-policies-that-win-elections-thats-short-sighted/">Historic trends</a> have also indicated that passing new policy has marginal effects on midterm elections — and can even spur backlash. Instead, factors such as the economy, inflation, and the state of the pandemic are likely to play a much bigger role in how voters assess the party in power.</p>
<p>“It’s possible this could have some influence on vote choices in the midterms, but the impact will be at the margin,” says Brown University political scientist Eric Patashnik. “The president’s party nearly always suffers losses in the midterms, and Biden’s executive actions aren’t likely to change that.”</p>
<p>That’s not to say that executive actions aren’t worth pursuing or that they won’t have any impact. It’s just that any electoral benefits they produce will likely be outweighed by other headwinds Democrats already have to contend with.</p>
<h3>Executive actions could energize the base</h3>
<p>Executive action on major issues could well help mobilize a certain segment of Democratic voters.</p>
<p>“I think young people aren’t excited to go to the polls to vote on broken promises,” says Sunrise Movement spokesperson John Paul Mejia. “Right now, young people are yearning for a party to believe in.”</p>
<p>In the last year, Democrats have struggled to advance some of their biggest priorities. Although they were able to pass robust stimulus via the American Rescue Plan, as well as landmark investments in roads, bridges, and water pipes via the bipartisan infrastructure bill, they haven’t been able to approve key climate policies or voting rights legislation due to divides within the party.</p>
<p>Voters’ disappointment has been evident in polling. <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/01/25/views-of-joe-biden/">Since last September</a>, Biden’s approval rating has seen declines among Democrats overall, and among key party constituencies including Black voters and young voters.</p>
<p>Executive actions could help rally many of the Democratic voters who’ve become disillusioned with the party’s leadership, though experts note that they’ll have to make sure these efforts don’t turn swing voters away.</p>
<p>“Executive actions that relate to the economy historically have the potential to boost participation of the president’s base,” says the Brookings Institution’s Nicole Willcoxon.</p>
<p>Thus far, Biden has met with the CPC to discuss the list of executive actions they’ve proposed, though the White House has yet to announce how many it might potentially consider.</p>
<h3>Policies tend to have marginal impacts</h3>
<p>While executive actions could energize some Democrats, they likely aren’t enough to neutralize other challenges they face.</p>
<p>Usually, the president’s party experiences backlash during the midterm elections. In eight of the last 10 midterm elections, the president’s party lost House seats, and in six of them, it lost Senate seats, too. Backlash to the president’s party seems to drown out most benefits that policy — including those by executive action — can provide.</p>
<p>Also, because the opposition party tends to be more fired up about taking back congressional seats or putting a check on the executive office, its voters are usually more activated during the midterms.</p>
<p>“What happens in a midterm is the people who are motivated to participate are people who are suffering losses, not gains,” says Michigan State University political scientist Matt Grossmann. “The opposition party is more excited, and that definitely does matter.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/10/curse-presidents-second-year-biden/620391/">As the Atlantic’s Ron Brownstein has pointed out</a>, recent midterm losses have taken place even after the passage of ambitious bills like the Affordable Care Act and groundbreaking gun control legislation:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Bill Clinton lost 54 House seats in 1994 after passing a sweeping budget bill, a substantial crime bill, and the most significant gun-control legislation Congress has ever approved. The losses were even greater in 2010 after Barack Obama passed his stimulus plan, expansive financial-reform legislation, and, above all, the Affordable Care Act, extending health insurance to more of the uninsured than any other federal initiative had since Medicare and Medicaid. Despite, or perhaps because of, all that, Democrats lost 63 House seats in 2010, the biggest midterm loss for either party in more than 70 years.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Part of those losses may stem from the fact that it takes time for people to feel the effects of a policy. While the Affordable Care Act, for example, wasn’t initially politically helpful to Democrats, it became much more so after the legislation developed a constituency over time.</p>
<p>Executive actions that could have the most impact on the midterm elections are ones, like stimulus checks, that have benefits that can be immediately felt, says Grossmann. Even then, however, he believes their benefits are likely small.</p>
<p>Several of the actions CPC has proposed would fall into the immediately felt category.</p>
<p>“There’s a lot here that’s really tangible and immediate,” says CPC spokesperson Mia Jacobs. “If the president cancels student debt tomorrow, if he increases the overtime threshold, and uses march-in rights to lower the price of prescription drugs, these are things that will make life easier right now and that is what it’s about.”</p>
<p>Taking these actions seems unlikely to alter the broader trajectory of the midterms themselves. They would, however, show that Biden is delivering on key campaign promises, and could galvanize disappointed members of the Democratic base, something that could come in handy in tight races. Executive action advocates argue, too, that even if they don’t ultimately help much, it’s a strategy worth trying to demonstrate the value of having Democrats in power.</p>
<p>“Progressives think it’s really important to be caught trying, and to make the case for why Democratic governance is meaningful,” says Jacobs.</p>

What Chinese media is saying about Russia’s Ukraine war

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/sMzRT8nvAb92gPVwr1RX6jLn7_A=/0x215:3000x1786/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23361348/1239620057.jpg" /></div>
<p>The close of the 2022 Beijing Olympics, on February 20, was a key moment in trying to decipher Russia’s Ukraine invasion plans. Russian President Vladimir Putin would wait until after the Games, the theory went, so as not to distract from the Olympics and to avoid jeopardizing any support Moscow would need from Beijing.</p>
<p>Putin did wait, finally launching an invasion on February 24. But China has not gone all-in on Putin’s Ukraine war, despite Chinese President Xi Jinping and Putin declaring there were <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/18/russia-china-said-their-friendship-had-no-limits-its-up-united-states-impose-some/">“no limits”</a> to their friendship.</p>
<p>Instead, the Chinese government has tried to toe a careful line. It has not condemned Russia’s invasion. But <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-business-beijing-economy-europe-f904dfdf7f17cf1259b34d91d226d353">though China has criticized Western sanctions</a> on Russia, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-15/china-says-it-wants-to-avoid-u-s-sanctions-over-russia-s-war">it has not really moved to help Russia evade them</a>, and it looks like <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-25/china-damps-u-s-concern-on-sanctions-by-drilling-into-details">it’s trying to avoid running afoul of the penalties</a>. At the same time, what it says and does outwardly <a href="https://twitter.com/larisamlbrown/status/1509941356789174280?s=20&t=xG8RW4m5L1G8senEDLcQtQ">may be a lot different from what’s happening behind the scenes</a>.</p>
<p>Maria Repnikova, an assistant professor in global communications at Georgia State University, said the relationship between Moscow and Beijing is a bit more symbolic than practical. “On the level of rhetoric and symbolism and shared visions of the world, there seems to be some congruence,” she said.</p>
<p>But for now, China is mostly trying to hover around the sidelines of these geopolitical tensions. Repnikova, who studies communications and comparisons between Russia and China, said that China’s delicate position is reflected in its state media, where Ukraine is not dominating news coverage, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/01/china/shanghai-jilin-china-covid-outbreak-cost-intl-hnk-mic/index.html">as least not as much as domestic issues</a>.</p>
<p>What does exist in state-run media and on social media tends to show sympathy for the Russian position — as in Russia, the invasion is not really referred to as a war — and an antipathy for the United States and the West, who are largely blamed for the conflict.</p>
<p>“The pro-Russian [sentiment] is often veiled as this larger critique of the West — so it’s hard to tell how much of it is pro-Russia, how much of it is actually anti-US, or if it’s fused together,” she said. One thing is clear: Between the 2014 Crimea annexation, and this war in 2022, “there’s more anti-American sentiments than in the past.”</p>
<p>Still, Repnikova emphasized that it is really hard to get a complete picture of views in China. There are <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/18/world/asia/china-ukraine-russia-dissent.html">dissenting voices and alternative perspectives within China</a>, but they often have difficulty sustaining that conversation, especially online, because of censorship.</p>
<p>“There’s a temptation to say everybody in China thinks this or they’re all subjects of propaganda,” Repnikova said. “But there are two caveats there: One is that, yes, there are alternative voices, but it’s just they have a hard time surviving. And the other caveat is that there is organic, bottom-up nationalism in China that’s not necessarily just dictated by the state.”</p>
<p>Both the official state line and what exists online offer a glimpse into Beijing’s careful positioning in the past few weeks — and what it might do as the war continues.</p>
<p>The conversation with Repnikova, edited and condensed for clarity, is below.</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" />
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>As best we can tell, how does China view the war in Ukraine?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>Well, it’s hard to know exactly how because they’re not very transparent about the inner sentiments of the [Chinese Communist Party (CCP)]. In terms of how it’s been projecting its policies and perspectives, it seems that it’s seeing its own role as staying on the sidelines and constantly reassuring external publics that they are pro-peace, and they want to bring forward dialogue.</p>
<p>But overall, they haven’t been that actively involved so far — at least from what we’re seeing publicly, in terms of bringing this war to an end, or pressuring Russia to stop its invasion.</p>
<p>Whether [the Chinese government] sees the Ukraine war as positive or negative, I think overall, it’s probably more on the negative side because it is an overall disturbance to the global economic flows and China’s <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/market-insights/latest-news/agriculture/030222-a-look-at-russia-china-wheat-sunflower-oil-trade-as-ukraine-crisis-rages">own imports of grain, wheat from Ukraine — and from Russia, arguably, as well</a>. It’s also keyed in on potential repercussions for itself, if it ends up somehow bypassing Western sanctions and engaging with Russia in some way that’s seen as saving Russia or enhancing its economic activities, despite sanctions.</p>
<p>So I think overall, it’s seen as another external crisis to deal with for the CCP while <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3170289/china-brink-biggest-covid-19-crisis-wuhan-cases-surge">dealing with a Covid outbreak within China</a>, and with <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Xi-says-2022-party-congress-will-be-major-event-for-China-s-politics">a big party congress</a> coming up in September, so there’s a lot happening domestically. I think [the war in Ukraine] is seen as a pretty significant crisis to manage externally, but also vis-a-vis the domestic public.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>This may be a question that’s tough to answer, but is there a sense that the Chinese government is surprised at how the West responded to Russia’s invasion, especially when it comes to unity on sanctions?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>Again, it’s hard to know if they’re surprised because there’s no way to prove that. But overall, I think they’re concerned with that response because it showcases the extent of the possibility of unity and shared advocacy and restrictions, the actual practical measures taken against Russia.</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen, in some of the discussions in Chinese state media and popular sentiments, there is some discussion of “How does China prevent that from happening?” or “How to create more buffer policies or put systems in place so we’re less dependent on the West, or less prone to potentially facing a similar kind of attack or similar type of isolation.” Overall, there’s a sense of a cautionary tale and as kind of a learning experience.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>You mentioned state-run media. Is there an overarching theme or themes as to how it is covering the conflict in Ukraine?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>First of all, the war hasn’t been that widely covered in Chinese state media for domestic publics. <a href="https://www.cgtn.com/">CGTN</a>, a television station aimed at external, global audiences, has covered it quite extensively. But in domestic media, you often see the stories being buried in the midst of other stories about domestic affairs. If you open People’s Daily, the newspaper that is the main mouthpiece [of the CCP], you mostly see Xi Jinping’s policy speeches, all kinds of other topics. But Ukraine is at the bottom somewhere. It’s less covered, or kind of obfuscated in some ways in other stories. That’s one theme.</p>
<p>The other theme is that we see very cautious rhetoric, but no direct blaming of Russia. Not calling it an invasion. I don’t think war is even being invoked, mostly “military operation.” We see quite a bit of language or rhetoric about the war bordering on Russian rhetoric, so a bit of that kind of infiltration or infusion of Russian statements and sources. That’s another thing that I’ve observed.</p>
<p>The other big theme on social media, but also some state media, and <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china-blames-nato-pushing-russia-ukraine-tension-breaking-point-2022-03-09/?taid=62288e929fa2ce0001107ed4&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter">the theme that comes up from Chinese diplomats</a>, is this blaming of NATO and the US for the war. So instead of saying, “Well, how does conflict come about, Ukraine or Russia? Who started and why?” It’s “Well, this was almost inevitable because of how much NATO has militarized the region. And the US, of course, being the key member of NATO, has basically provoked this war.”</p>
<p>So a lot of anti-Western, anti-US sentiments or explanations for the war, as opposed to blaming, let’s say, Russia, or even Ukraine. That’s another thing that has stayed pretty fixed in different statements and coverage and media.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>Are you seeing those sentiments reflected more organically on social media? I know the <a href="https://www.chinafile.com/library/reports/forbidden-feeds-government-controls-social-media-china">internet is tightly controlled</a>, but what do we know about how the public is responding to the Ukraine war?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>It was a hot topic for a while. In the last few days, it’s shifted because of <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-plane-crash-5735-boeing-b2047877.html">the airplane crash</a> and other topics started to take precedence. But the very powerful sentiment is that of nationalism, anti-Americanism, anti-Western sentiment — and quite a lot of pro-Russian sentiments. But as I argued in <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/03/china-xi-ukraine-war-america/627028/">the Atlantic</a>, the pro-Russian [sentiment] is often veiled as this larger critique of the West — so it’s hard to tell how much of it is pro-Russia, how much of it is actually anti-US, or if it’s fused together.</p>
<p>We do see some questioning voices. It’s not completely controlled. We see some fact-checkers emerging that are checking how stories are reported in some Chinese state-run media and questioning their sources, or questioning the angles they are taking. There are subtle efforts to push back. <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/video/sympathize-pain-ukrainian-people-chinese-181907748.html">Some academics signed petitions to express solidarity with Ukraine</a>. We’ve seen also some voices of Chinese nationals in Ukraine reporting on things from there, or expressing their sentiments, which are very different from state media. Some alternative information sources or framings are present, but many have been censored.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>Is there anything unusual that jumps out at you about the discourse around Ukraine?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>Well, the distinction between the 2014 Crimea annexation, and this war in 2022, is that there’s more anti-American sentiments than in the past, when it wasn’t quite as clearly anti-American. That’s a shift that maybe reflects the state of US-China relations, but also more internal domestic pride in what China has accomplished, how it has managed Covid; there are many other factors and events. So that’s a bit of a shift.</p>
<p>It also depends on how sensitive is the story, and I think this story is somewhat sensitive, in part because how Russia is covered has been a longstanding, sensitive issue. State media, from my research, I’ve seen they’re not really allowed to critique or comment on Russia in a critical way, like reporting on protest movements in Russia or movements that attempt to derail or weaken Putin. You don’t really see those stories coming out in Chinese media.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>You mentioned that Chinese media’s coverage of Russia is a longstanding, sensitive issue. I’m sure there’s a lot of history there, but could you elaborate a little bit on what you meant by that?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>Russia-China relations, at least officially, from the high-level politics perspective, have been getting closer over decades now. We’re seeing more and more closer ideological pronouncements. The last meeting between Xi and Putin was on February 4, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-24/china-envoy-says-xi-putin-friendship-actually-does-have-a-limit">where they signed this declaration and expressed the sentiment of unlimited friendship</a>. To me, a lot of it is more symbolic than practical, in terms of really supporting each other in multiple dimensions. But at the very least, on the level of rhetoric and symbolism and shared visions of the world, there seems to be some congruence.</p>
<p>But Russia has been a sensitive topic to discuss because if you start unraveling what’s happening in Russia, in a way, you’re questioning what’s happening in China, too. You start reporting about protest movements in Russia, another major authoritarian state that seems to be aligned with China when it comes to the world order, like bringing down the hegemony of the US and multipolarity — anything that showcases the weaknesses of the [Russian] regime, or that there’s people challenging it, that is always a dangerous story because it might signal that it’s possible to challenge a major non-democratic state.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>That makes sense — covering Russia might hold up a mirror to CCP. But it also makes it seem that this talk of a so-called renewed <a href="https://time.com/6158146/china-russia-ukraine-biden/">“Iron Curtain”</a> — with China and Russia aligned against the West — hasn’t really penetrated. It seems as if China wants to be careful in its approach to Russia, but it doesn’t seem as if the Chinese government is welcoming or hastening that global dichotomy.</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>The dichotomy is interesting, but it’s more complicated than that. The “Iron Curtain” simplifies what’s going on with China. China is trying to maintain access to Western and global markets — <a href="https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-news-03-13-22/h_8a736bdd345e0b5e8f15bfb68540a0ce">that’s why it’s abiding by the sanctions so far</a> and actually inquiring about them in more detail to make sure it doesn’t break them.</p>
<p>Its biggest relationship is still with the US. That’s the biggest rival, the biggest, in some ways, inspiration in some facets of government, it’s the biggest nation that it is reckoning with when it comes to its future. In that sense, that idea that China is just going to completely align with Russia and shut itself off from the world, and that’s it — that’s not quite what we’re seeing. I think we’re seeing an attempt to maneuver both of these sides.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>What about Russia? Have you looked at how Russian state media or online discussions view China amid the Ukraine war?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>I looked at this a little bit in the first couple of weeks of the war, just looking at what Russia media was saying about China. Initially, there was a lot of quite positive statements about [how] China’s standing with us. “We’re not isolated, we’re not alone, we have this major, major country on our side.”</p>
<p>But then there were also other discussions later on, when we start seeing actual policies. For example, a Russian official <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/russia-says-china-refuses-supply-aircraft-parts-after-sanctions-2022-03-10/">reported that China will not provide aircraft parts to Russia</a>. That was taken quite negatively: “China’s being pressured by the US,” or “China is not supporting us,” or “China’s not going to provide us really essential materials.” So it’s not very clear discussion of that, there’s a bit of a mixed sentiment.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>One of the things that hangs over China’s approach to the war in Ukraine is this question of Taiwan. There have been <a href="https://www.csis.org/events/ukraine-and-taiwan-parallels-and-early-lessons-learned">a lot of takes in comparing Taiwan and Ukraine,</a> and trying to game out what Russia’s invasion of Ukraine means for Taipei. I know the Chinese government <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/15/china-ambassador-us-where-we-stand-in-ukraine/">believes Taiwan to be an “internal” matter</a> and so not analogous, but I’m wondering if those comparisons cropped up in Chinese media or online?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>It’s a bit tricky to understand to what extent this Ukraine crisis is going to lead China in one direction or another vis-a-vis Taiwan.</p>
<p>On one hand, on social media, we did see a lot of Taiwan and Ukraine comparisons, like comparing the activities or actions of Russia to what China should be doing, that Taiwan is just like Ukraine, a kind of rebellious pro-Western part of the family that’s trying to get away. A lot of family metaphors and very similar language. That hyper-nationalism and the sense of comparison was there.</p>
<p>But then a lot of those messages got censored. Then we also saw some official statements verifying that Taiwan is not Ukraine, and Taiwan already belongs to China. So if China decides to unify, it’s not the same thing. They’re trying to differentiate themselves, maybe signaling to a domestic audience, “This is not the right rhetoric here, we’re not going to compare Ukraine and Taiwan.” It might also be something so as not to escalate further relations with the West. Right now, the US is distracted with Russia, and that’s good for China. So it’s hard to tell how much they’re thinking about this comparatively within the CCP because, at least officially, they’re suggesting that it’s a very different scenario.</p>
<h4>Jen Kirby</h4>
<p>As we’ve discussed, China is trying to navigate this carefully, and is, in a lot of ways, reacting in real time. But it’s standing largely on the sidelines, and I wonder if there is a sense of a missed opportunity for China — that maybe they should be taking a bolder role, maybe potentially being a broker in any peace deal?</p>
<h4>Maria Repnikova</h4>
<p>So far, I don’t think we’ve seen any signs of that bolder role. Maybe if something more drastic happens. It’s already very horrific, but if it escalates more, or if it expands geographically toward NATO, maybe China will take a different role. But I don’t even know if it will take a different role in that case, honestly; I think it might still condemn what it sees as worth condemning, and then still call for peace, but not necessarily be the one directly advocating.</p>
<p>It’s also the issue that there’s suspicion vis-a-vis China, too. From the Western perspective, would they allow China to be the key mediator? Would they just say, “Yeah, sure, you go ahead, you’re going to be the key player here” or would they want to have oversight over that process? And, if so, how does China look? It’s been promoting this anti-Western, anti-American kind of narrative, and then saying, “Oh, yeah, we’re going to mediate, and work with the West and just abide by whatever they decide.” So it’s a very difficult position.</p>
<p>In some ways, it seems that staying on the outskirts may be a little bit easier, especially because other countries have taken that role, like Israel and Turkey. But it could be a potential win for China, if they did succeed in gauging more agreement and getting something to move forward. But I’m not sure they see that as a worthwhile pursuit, for now.</p>

Kamala Harris Contradicts Biden’s Putin Remarks: ‘We Are Not Into Regime Change’

<p><strong>Vice President Kamala Harris was asked during a Friday appearance on MSNBC by show host Joy Reid her view on President Biden’s regime change comments directed at Russia’s Vladimir Putin the prior Saturday in Warsaw. In line with White House efforts in the days following Biden’s speech, she too sought to walk back any suggestion that Washington is actively seeking Putin’s overthrow, saying “we are not into regime change.” </strong></p>
<p><strong>“Let me be very clear. We are not into regime change. And that is not our policy. Period,”</strong> Harris <a href="https://thehill.com/news/administration/3256957-harris-says-biden-administration-not-into-regime-change/">told Reid</a>. She said this after rambling on for a couple of minutes in response to what was initially a simple yes or no question of “whether he [Putin] should remain” in power. The segment started with Reid asking “President Biden said Vladimir Putin should no longer be leader of Russia, <strong>do you agree?</strong>“</p>

<p>“Our policy from the beginning has been about ensuring that there are going to be <strong>real costs exacted against Russia in the form of severe sanctions</strong>, which we know are having a real impact and an immediate impact, not to mention the longer-term impact, which is about saying there’s going to be consequence and accountability when you commit the kinds of atrocities that he is committing,” VP Harris said.</p>

<p>We should immediately point out the obvious concerning her assertion… given the glaring examples of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria – or even going back to the 1953 Iranian coup d’état, or the 1980’s CIA role in Central America – one could argue that in recent history that regime change<em> has in fact been US policy</em> across various parts of the globe.</p>

<p>The Sunday after Biden’s controversial Warsaw speech, which the Kremlin rejected and condemned – but also said wouldn’t match in terms of escalatory rhetoric – Antony Blinken became the highest US official to try and downplay the president’s words. </p>

White House Refuses to Rule Out Pardon for Hunter Biden

<p><strong>The White House repeatedly refused on Friday to rule out the possibility that President Joe Biden could pardon his son Hunter Biden or brother James Biden if suspected financial crimes related to business dealings in China are proven in court, despite questions from multiple journalists and a growing volume of articles on the subject.</strong></p>
<p>“<em>That’s not a hypothetical I’m going to entertain</em>,” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield told a room full of journalists after she was asked whether the president had considered a pardon for his son Hunter or brother James, both of whom are being investigated for financial impropriety regarding a business deal with Chinese firm CEFC China Energy.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" readability="6.6554621848739">

<p>Asked about the president’s continued insistence that there was nothing “<em>unethical</em>” and that Hunter Biden had made no money from “<em>this thing about what you’re talking about, China</em>,” Bedingfield doubled down on the elder Biden’s denial – made over a year earlier – that his son was guilty of any wrongdoing. “<em>We absolutely stand by the president’s comment</em>,” she said, insisting she did not have “<em>anything to add from this podium</em>” when the question was phrased another way.</p>
<p>Hunter Biden is currently being investigated by the Justice Department regarding a business deal he was involved with in China, proof of which surfaced almost two years ago on the infamous “<em>laptop from hell</em>” left by him at a repair shop in Delaware. The younger Biden appeared to have raked in millions of dollars for a consulting role despite insisting the deal itself “<em>fell through</em>,” and his Chinese partner in the affair was later detained in China.</p>
<p>While a handful of media outlets initially reported on the content of the laptop, which included not only incriminating financial documents but also more salacious materials including images of Hunter engaged in sex acts and drug use, most major press outlets gave it a pass, either dismissing it as “<em>Russian propaganda</em>” without any evidence or refusing to comment on it at all. The president infamously laughed when asked about the laptop again after the election.</p>
<p>However, with Biden safely in the White House, mainstream outlets from the New York Times to CNN have begun to nibble at the story, acknowledging not only that the laptop belonged to Hunter Biden but that there are some serious problems with the “<em>business deals</em>” discussed in emails it contained.</p>

‘They Are What They Are, They Were Defending Our Country’: Zelensky ‘Brushes Off’ Reports of Azov Battalion Committing Atrocities

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://api-assets.infowars.com/2022/04/zelensky827356789.jpg" /></div>
<p><strong>When Fox News’ Bret Baier asked President Zelensky on Friday about <a href="https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62985">reports of Azov Battalion committing atrocities</a>, Zelensky appeared to brush them off by saying, “They are what they are, they were defending our country.”</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" readability="8.8427299703264">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Bret Baier asked Zelensky about Azov Battalion's shooting of Russian POWs.</p>
<p>Zelensky's answer? "They are what they are."</p>
<p>Zelensky also claims that some were prosecuted after 2014 and given prison sentences. He doesn't mention that those convictions were overturned. <a href="https://t.co/5m3EOlJhU6">pic.twitter.com/5m3EOlJhU6</a></p>

<p>The Conservative Treehouse reported that Fox News <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/04/02/brett-baier-asks-volodymyr-zelenskyy-about-azov-battalion-reportedly-shooting-pows/">cut the above clip out of the interview they uploaded to YouTube and FoxNews.com</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote" readability="18.01724137931">
<p>The question was asked during an interview between Brett Baier and Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday evening. However, you will not find this segment on the rebroadcast of the interview at Fox News [<a href="https://video.foxnews.com/v/6302624277001#sp=show-clips">Website Here</a>]. They took it out. You will also not find this segment on the Fox News upload of the interview to their YouTube account [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgxJwmL2_h0">See Here</a>]. Again, they took it out.</p>
<p>In fact, if someone had not uploaded a livestream copy to Rumble [<a href="https://rumble.com/vzd1dv-bret-baier-asks-volodymyr-zelenskyy-about-the-azov-battalion.html">Direct Link Here</a>], there would be no other evidence the question was even asked, let alone the very flippant answer from Zelenskyy, “They are what they are”; where “they” is the neoNazi Azov battalion that have been merged with the Ukraine regular military.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I’ve read a lot of speculation claiming Azov is just blamed for all the atrocities of the regular Ukrainian military for political purposes by both Russia and Ukraine.</p>
<p>Ukraine wants to pass off their military’s war crimes onto Azov and Russia wants to make it seem like their fight is only with Ukraine’s “neo-Nazis.”</p>
<p>Zelensky’s comment suggesting that Azov was just “one of the groups” involved in said atrocities would certainly back that notion up.</p>
<p>Zelensky specifically stated Azov was “incorporated into the military of Ukraine.”</p>
<p>It would be really nice if Fox News would provide some clarity as to why they deleted this clip. Was is a mistranslation? Was it poor editing taking him out context? Did they just not want people to see it because it made Zelensky look bad?</p>
<p>Baier still hasn’t comment on it.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we have to assume the worst as Fox News has been <a href="https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62936">putting out tons</a> of <a href="https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62924">atrocity propaganda</a> and taking their talking points directly from the Pentagon.</p>
