I’m not sure if Biden’s words differed from the perspective of previous administrations. Check out the CIA Fact Book on Egypt. It describes Egypt as having elected Mubarak, and describes the government as a republic.

We are talking about the message being sent to the people in the streets. Yes, we all know that Egypt self identified as a republic, but the administration should no better, and either keep their mouths shut or be more careful to not come out supporting an obvious dictator over a democratic movement.

Simple question, do you think that Biden (a man who says he is a foreign affairs expert) thinks there is a democracy already in Egypt?
