"He's been campaigning as Captain Return to Normalcy, that I am a return to all things that are good and steady in American life,'" the "Ben Shapiro Show" host told listeners.

"It turns out that the old normal, which was filled with corrupt politicians like Joe Biden, was ... filled with politicians who were going to basically follow the diktats of the radical left."

Biden has repeatedly pushed back against Republican efforts to tie him to the party's progressive wing — even as some Democrats pledge to make radical changes should they win control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

"This dude is not a bulwark against the radical left," Shapiro asserted. "He's not a return to normalcy -- he's a gateway drug to radicalism."
