Russia - Biden tells it like it is

How will Republicans react to this, I wonder?
I'm not sure how well an attempt to portray Russia as a poor slandered innocent will go down with their base ... or how Trump, notorious for his love-ins with Putin, will react for that matter.

Biden says Putin 'will pay a price' for Russian interference in US election
Joe Biden said the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, will face consequences for directing efforts to swing the 2020 US presidential election to Donald Trump, and that they would come soon.
“He will pay a price,” Biden told ABC News in an interview that aired on Wednesday morning.
Asked by the Good Morning America anchor George Stephanopoulos what the consequences would be, he said: “You’ll see shortly.”
Biden’s comments come after a US declassified intelligence report on Tuesday bolstered longstanding allegations that Putin was behind Moscow’s election interference, by proliferating “misleading or unsubstantiated allegations” largely designed to denigrate Joe Biden and boost Trump’s re-election, some fed through allies of Trump.
Russia called the findings baseless.
At the same time, Biden noted that the US and Russia can “walk and chew gum” at the same time.
“There’s places where it’s in our mutual interest to work together” such as renewing the Start nuclear agreement, he said, adding that the two leaders have a known history of acquaintance.
“I know him relatively well,” Biden said, adding that “the most important thing dealing with foreign leaders in my experience … is just know the other guy.”
