Biden claimed during the election he was the best candidate to take on Putin
Then-candidate Joe Biden made a bold proclamation 2 years ago Monday, when he claimed Russian leader Vladimir Putin didn’t want him to win the 2020 election because he’s “the only person in the field who’s ever gone toe to toe with him,” Sean Hannity said Monday.
In his Opening Monologue, the “Hannity” host pointed out how “badly that [message] aged” – as Biden now potentially will become party to another catastrophe on the other side of the world following his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
Hannity reported that Putin has already sent military personnel into the eastern part of Ukraine under the guise of a “peacekeeping” mission to back up so-called Russian-friendly “separatists” there.
“In reality, nothing could be further from the truth: according to analysts and officials, we could be witnessing what is the beginning of a prolonged and bloody war,” Hannity said.
Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why — it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.

Hannity said experts also warn Putin’s potential plans may become the largest invasion to take place in Europe since 1939 when former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler invaded the Sudetenland, a portion of western then-Czechoslovakia largely populated by ethnic Germans. Months later, Hitler’s Nazis invaded France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland.
“Now remember just two years ago to the day then-candidate Joe Biden, he made a bold declaration: This did not age well on Twitter – ‘Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be president. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why, it’s because I’m the only person in the field who’s ever gone toe to toe with him.”
