United States President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “crazy son of a bi***” at a public campaign fundraiser in San Francisco.
According to the Guardian, Biden spoke about the climate crisis during the event on Wednesday, and told reporters: “There are crazy bastards like Putin and others, and we always have to worry about nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is the climate.”
Biden has previously referred to other officials by the same term. One case is from January 2022, when he called a Fox News reporter the same way.
The American president previously called Putin a murderer, a robber, a war criminal and a butcher. Shortly after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Biden said the Russian president “cannot stay in power.”
Biden said the United States would announce a package of new sanctions on Russia on Friday over the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in prison.
