 Putin responded to Biden's insult, calling it a great shame for the US. President Joe Biden called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a crazy SOB at a public fundraising event in California. We have a crazy SOB like that guy Putin and others, and we always have to worry about nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is climate. Biden said in a brief speech at the event in San Francisco that was attended by a small group of reporters. In a hot mic slip in January 2022, Biden similarly called a Fox News journalist a son of a bitch. Biden's burst of strong language follows other occasions in which he has called the Russian president who ordered the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 a butcher and a war criminal. The Kremlin slammed Joe Biden's use of shameful language. This is a huge shame for the country itself. For the US, if a president uses that kind of language, it's shameful. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he remarked that Biden's statement was a poor attempt to appear like a Hollywood cowboy. A brief report on the Russian state news agency TASS's website quoted Peskov as saying Biden's words about Putin cannot hurt the Russian president, but they are a disgrace to the United States itself. Peskov said the use of such language against the head of another state by the president of the United States is unlikely to infringe on our president, President Putin, but it debases those who use such vocabulary. Peskov said the remark was probably some kind of attempt to look like a Hollywood cowboy. But honestly, I don't think it's possible. Has Putin ever used one crude word to address you? This has never happened. Therefore, I think that such vocabulary debases America itself. Peskov said he later added in comments to a state television reporter, this is a disgrace for the country itself. I mean the United States.
