Claiming Biden was wrong and undiplomatic for stating the truth.

So, it seems like more than just GOPers had a hair on fire moment about it.

Stupid, if you ask me, to get so upset about such a benign statement. It's not like he confessed to obstruction of justice, being pals with Epstein or wanting to have sex with his own daughter. He didn't make up some offensive nick name for a dictator with nuclear weapons or excuse Russian medling in our elections. He didn't make fun of a person with disabilities or call out a man who is blind.

Go figure.

equating everybody that sat straight up in their chair with a, "Whaa" last Sat. (which includes a good portion of world leaders and our allies) as "kissing Putin's ass" and having a hissy - probably explains a little bit.

So, yes - it's obvious that we're all just a bunch of ass kissers (and probably really on Putin's side). 'AmIright?

"there were some here doing it also."

Biden (whom I've praised extensively for his handling of the crisis) says he "spoke from the heart" - which we can all credit - but he also spoke 'off the cuff' - and caught a lot of people (including his own) with their pants down.

Is the media having a 'hissy fit?' Maybe. But they didn't exactly manufacture the brouhaha. It was served up, on a platter.
