Joe Biden labeled Vladimir Putin a ?dictator? yet again, which the Kremlin had previously denounced
US President Joe Biden has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "dictator," claiming that his main political opponent, former President Donald Trump, would "bow down to" him if elected in 2024. The Democrat also touted himself as a defender of US democracy.
Speaking to supporters during a fundraiser at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater in New York City on Monday, Biden said, "I will not side with dictators like Putin. Maybe Trump and his MAGA friends can bow down, but I won't."
The incumbent president claimed that "Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy," whereas he would always "protect and fight" for it.
This recent comment made by the US head of state about President Putin is not the first instance of him referring to another foreign leader as a dictator.
Last March, Biden told attendees of the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon that the US and its allies were standing together against a "murderous dictator, a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine." A day prior, the US president said he considered Putin a "war criminal."
Commenting on Biden's remarks at the time, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told TASS news agency that Moscow deemed "unacceptable and unforgivable such rhetoric from a head of state whose bombs have killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world." He noted that the US leader had resorted to "personal insults," a level that President Putin, a "thoughtful and wise leader," would never stoop to.
Last month, several US media outlets also quoted President Biden as alleging that China is run by "bad folks." In June, he described Chinese President Xi Jinping as a "dictator," which Beijing characterized as a "political provocation."
