‘They Were WRONG!’ Biden Rages At List Of Critics — Roasts CNN Host In Surprise Morning Joe Hit

President Joe Biden raged at a list of critics that Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski read to him — and openly laughed when she got to ex-Obama adviser and CNN podcast host David Axelrod .

Calls for President Biden to drop out have escalated from a media frenzy over anonymous chatter to a media frenzy over elected Democrats stepping out publicly after CNN’s Biden-Trump debate .

The president has vowed to stay in the race and attempted to reassure critics with a series of interviews and a stepped-up campaign schedule, and on Monday released a letter to Congress defying calls to step down.

On Monday morning’s edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe , , the president continued his campaign to quell those calls with an extensive phoner .

At one point, Brzezinski rattled off a list of outlets and people who have called on Biden to step down — eliciting a derisive response to Axelrod and a fiery rebuke of those critics:

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: So you have repeatedly said that all of these people and entities are wrong, and let me go through them. The New York Times editorial board, The Economist, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Boston Globe. Jerry Nadler. Seth Moulton. Let me go to Julian Castro, Tim Ryan, David Axelrod–.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: WHOA! You’re kidding!

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: David Remnick, haha– Richard Haass. Yeah, I know which one you’re responding to there — Zeke Emanuel, but they are saying that you should step aside. So what is your plan of attack moving forward? These are pretty big names!

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I understand there’s lot of (inaudible) But I’m not, I don’t care what those big names think! They were WRONG in 2020! They were wrong in 2022 about the red wave! They’re wrong in 2024!

And go with– to come out with the watch and watch people react. You make a judgment! You make a judgment!

And by the way I’m going to be have all these foreign leaders here. I’ve been in contact with a new British prime minister, which is– anyway. Look the country the rest of the world. Look at our allies looking for U.S. leadership. Who else do you think can step in here and do this?

I expanded NATO, I solidified NATO, ask your brother about it in Poland. I made sure that we’re in a position where we have a coalition of people, of the nations around the world to deal with China, with Russia, when everything is going on in the world.

We’re making real progress. The Biden plan, which Gaz– in Israel to, for the Gaza Strip. It is something that was adopted by the U.N. Security Council. Whether it comes to fruition, it’s awful close. We’ll see. G7–.

But look, I’m not going to explain anymore about what I should or shouldn’t do. I am running! I am running!
