Social media users mocked and attacked President Biden for his claim that he had been “working out” instead of learning about a plane crash in Russia Wednesday.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Russia’s Wagner Group who challenged the rule of Vladimir Putin just months ago, was killed in a plane crash that left 10 people dead outside of Moscow, state media reported.
Reporters caught up with Biden in Lake Tahoe to get his comments on the matter. “I don’t know for a fact what happened, but I am not surprised. There is not much that happens in Russia with Putin not behind, but I don’t know enough to know the answer. I’ve been working out for the last hour and a half,” Biden said.
