He made him look like he didn\u2019t know what he was doing,\u201d McCormick told Fox News radio late last year. \u201cIt was the first one-on-one meeting Joe Biden had with Vladimir Putin. It was during the Russian reset. It was in 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd all of a sudden, Vladimir Putin just turned off the lights and that was it,\u201d McCormick continued. \u201cJoe Biden couldn\u2019t say another word. They cut off his mike. They turned off the lights for the press, for the television cameras, and Joe Biden was dumbfounded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCormick said that he witnessed Biden \u201cgetting bullied by authoritarian leaders,\u201d including when \u201calmost the same thing happened several months later in China\u201d and several years later \u201cin Turkey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his book, McCormick wrote that \u201c[Putin\u2019s] message was unmistakable: I\u2019m in charge of the room, I\u2019m in charge of my country, and I\u2019m in charge of the reset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you might imagine, the vice president\u2019s staffers were furious with the Russians,\u201d McCormick continued in his book. \u201cI was instructed to have the transcript reflect how the vice president had been cut off in mid sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The official White House <a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/the-press-office\/2011\/03\/10\/remarks-vice-president-joe-biden-and-russian-prime-minister-vladimir-put\">transcript<\/a> from the March 2011 meeting shows that Biden was, in fact, cut off midsentence and that the event came to an immediate end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe basically got body slammed by Putin, really. I mean, I don\u2019t know how else to describe it,\u201d McCormick told the\u00a0Free Beacon. \u201cTo me it was like, here\u2019s our great foreign policy expert and he just got punk\u2019d. And Vladimir Putin just had no fear or respect for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Press reports at the time from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/03\/12\/world\/europe\/12russia.html\">The New York Times<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-russia-usa-biden\/biden-meets-putin-opposition-leaders-in-moscow-idUSTRE7293LQ20110310\">Reuters<\/a> do not mention the events that McCormick described. The Free Beacon, which reported on the story during the 2020 presidential election cycle, said that the Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment about the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>McCormick told WION that both Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping \u201cmade a fool of Joe Biden\u201d when he met with the leaders during separate trips in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>McCormick said, \u201cVladimir Putin made him look foolish in Moscow and he did it by basically inviting Joe Biden to tell about his past history in Russia and Joe Biden can\u2019t stop talking when he likes to talk about himself and as soon as Joe Biden was in the middle of a story and he came to the line, \u2018I\u2019ve been doing this a long time\u2013\u201d Vladimir Putin shut the lights off in the room, turned off the microphone and Joe Biden was left speechless and that\u2019s a hard thing to do for Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an op-ed published several weeks ago, McCormick said that as soon as Putin cut off Biden that \u201cstern Russian voices were commanding the press to leave and leave they did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey went out quickly and efficiently, with video cameras popping off of tripods. Equipment snapping shut. Portable lights clattering down retractable poles. No one spoke, and no one dared linger,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis was Putin in all his KGB ruthlessness. Whether by some prearranged signal or simply an undisclosed time limit, he had pulled the plug and done the unthinkable: he\u2019d stolen Joe Biden\u2019s audience and rendered him speechless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gravitas: Former White House Staffer: Joe Biden unfit to become President\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xo_QpzGxHD0?start=213&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
