I hope it is more common for politicians to change their minds when they realize they are wrong despite "gotcha" sentiments like this.

  Has Biden admitted he was wrong?

    Of course not, has any politician ever unless it benefited them? Have you seen trump? He literally made fun of disabled people and he refused to even slightly suggest that was a bit too much. I am not saying biden is better, to the contrary trump succeeded because he was great at the politics game - never show weakness, always look out for yourself and damned be anyone else you harm!

  This isn’t a gotcha sentiment - I don’t do that. Specifically, Biden’s team didn’t do the analysis when they removed the restriction. That’s the dumb move that caused the situation. Had they followed their own advice and looked at it first before withdrawing the order, then they wouldn’t be in this position.

Why is this downvoted? It’s inherently a political issue and the history here is relevant.

  Because of the added and unnecessary color comment if I had to guess. It's also not at all ironic if you read the article.

    If you read my link, you'd see the irony (which is why I included the link). From the article I linked to: ' It should use an "evidence-based approach" to see if they pose a risk to US national security, Mr Biden said. ' The Administration was sloppy in this, and they undid something that they had to redo because they didn't follow their own advice when the put out the original order (which is here by the way: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/06/09/fact-sheet-executive-order-protecting-americans-sensitive-data-from-foreign-adversaries/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases... ). So yes, Irony is appropriate here. It's like a guy who puts down a banana peel and then slips on that same banana peel.
