According to edition.cnn.com:
“We have a crazy S.O.B. that guy, Putin, others. And we always have to be worried about a nuclear conflict. But the existential threat to humanity is climate,” Biden told those gathered at the fundraiser.
In response to Biden’s comments, the Kremlin on Thursday said they were a “huge disgrace” for the United States.
Biden went ahead to criticize former US President, Donald Trump’s comments likening his legal troubles to the death of Alexey Navalny, Russian opposition leader and Kremlin critic.
“He’s comparing himself to Navalny and saying that because our country’s become a communist country, he was persecuted, just like Navalny was persecuted. Where the hell does this comes from,” Biden said, according to reporters in the room. “If I stood here 10 to 15 years ago and said all this, you’d all think I should be committed. … It’s astounding.”
