Putin says 'he who said it, did it' after Biden calls Russian president a 'killer'

Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that "it takes one to know one" -- a translation that was later corrected to “he who said it, did it,” after U.S. President Joe Biden said he thought the Russian president was a killer, adding that he wished Biden good health.

"I wish you health. I say that without any irony or joke."

Putin was speaking on television after Biden, in an ABC News interview that prompted Russia to recall its Washington ambassador for consultations on Wednesday, said "I do" when asked if he believed the Russian president was a killer.

Biden also described Putin as having no soul, and said he would pay a price for alleged Russian meddling in the November 2020 U.S. presidential election, something the Kremlin denies.

[thecmmnmann]

Putin did not say "It takes one to know one." He said "Whatever you say [about others] is what you are yourself."

Ahhhh, the “he who smelt it dealt it” argument. Well played, sir.

Omg, they can’t even translate simple phrase correctly 🤦🏻‍♀️ he said “one usually blames others for what he is himself guilty of”

He is a *real* leader. Resolve, discipline, wisdom, selfless perseverance.

"I wish you health. I say that without any irony or joke" says Putin while trying to fight back his smile.

"I wish him good health."
Translation: he's a dying old man and we all know it.

The most powerful "no, u" moment, probably ever.

[redman]

Putin didn't deny being a killer but just basically said, "ya, so are you."

[AK-dejn]

America calling anyone a killer is the highest level of hypocrisy.

He has more wisdom and decrement than the US congress together.

I recently heard a similar response from a Catholic Priest: “When you judge others, criticizing someone, you are actually talking about your own actions and faults, because you think they are like you.”

"I wish you health" is the most gangster thing I've ever heard

Fantastic statements made by President Putin. Being an American I agree with him in many ways.
