President Joe Biden apologized for snapping at a CNN reporter who asked him questions following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, stating that he believes that “to be a good reporter, you’ve gotta be negative – you’ve gotta have a negative view of life.”
“I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy with the last answer I gave,” Biden said of his exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, during which he yelled “What the hell, what do you do all the time” and told her that she was in the “wrong business.”

Biden also elaborated on the reasoning for his outburst, stating, “Look, to be a good reporter, you’ve gotta be negative. You’ve gotta have a negative view of life, okay, it seems to me, the way you all – you never ask a positive question . . . the thing that always amazes me about the questions – and I apologize for having been short about this before – if you were in my position, would you say ‘Well, I don’t think man, anything is gonna happen, it’s gonna be really rough,’ you’d guarantee nothing happens. You guarantee nothing happens.”
