Fox News contributors Juan William and Karl Rove clashed over whether President Joe Biden could take any credit after Russian President Vladimir Putin faced a military insurrection over the weekend.

"Well, I tell you, Joe Biden looked pretty good this weekend, didn't he?" Williams said during a panel discussion on Fox News Sunday. "I mean, boy, he's led the allies. He warned early about Putin invading Ukraine."

"Who looks like a weak leader right now?" he added. "America's enemy, Vladimir Putin."

"He's been — he went to Camp David, which was probably a wise move because it kept him out of the scene," Rove shot back. "He's been largely out of it."

"You sound like you're whining because Joe Biden did a good job in Ukraine," Williams replied.

"Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't claim any credit for the resolution of what's happened in the last few days," Rove said.

"Oh, let me get this straight," Williams joked. "You know, former president Trump: 'Putin's my friend, I would have handled it.'"

"Joe Biden needs to be acknowledged when he has success," Williams concluded.
