Biden mocked for suggesting Russia wouldn'''t interfere in elections '''on my watch''' | Fox News
Biden mocked for suggesting Russia wouldn't interfere in elections 'on my watch'...
The former vice president then pivoted to Putin's interference in elections in European countries like Hungary.
"While Putin's trying to undo our elections, he's actually undoing elections in, in Europe," Biden elaborated. "Look at what's happening in Hungary... look at what's happening! You think that would happen on my watch, on Barack's watch? You can't answer that, but I promise you it wouldn't have. And it didn't."
Biden's remarks were swiftly rejected on social media -- given that the intelligence community determined Russia did try to interfere in the 2016 election, during the Obama administration when he was vice president. Then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe was launched the following year with the mission of determining whether Trump associates colluded with Russia as part of that effort, though the investigation did not turn up evidence of a criminal conspiracy.
NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck panned Biden's statement by declaring, "PANTS ON FIRE."
The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

I guess Biden forgot he was Vice President in 2016. What alternate reality does he live in?
