'Don't compare me to Donald Trump!': Biden defends insults against Iowa voter
Washington Examiner ^ | December 07, 2019 04:46 PM | John Gage

Joe Biden hit back at a reporter who asked him whether calling an Iowa voter a "damn liar" was comparable to rhetoric from President Trump.

"No, no, no, no, no, don't compare me to Donald Trump. Don't do that," the former vice president shot back at an NPR reporter when she made the comparison Saturday. Biden said Trump makes fun of people and lies, adding, "I don't do any of those things."

"The fact of the matter is this guy stood up, and he was, in fact, lying. And I just pointed out, 'You're a liar.' It's a fact," he said.

Biden, 77, said he might regret challenging the guy to a push-up contest but said he thought it was "civil" to call him a liar. The Delaware Democrat had previously pushed back at critics who thought he called the Iowa voter "fat," claiming instead he used the word "fact."

The exchange with the voter came during a campaign stop in Iowa, where a retired farmer stood up and accused Biden of being too old to be president while also questioning his son's work in Ukraine. The exchange went viral, and the voter has since said that Biden should drop out of the race.

Joe Biden called a voter a "damn liar" during a heated town hall exchange this week.

Voters say they felt his tone was off-putting — especially from a candidate who talks a lot about restoring civility.

"That's not civil?" Biden told NPR. "To call someone who lied a liar?"

David Brooks admired the crease in Obama’s pants.

...critics who thought he called the Iowa voter "fat," claiming instead he used the word "fact."

I wonder what Biden claims he was saying when we heard "Burisma."

"No, no, no...not 'Burisma.' I was talking about my 'charisma.' You misunderstood me."

His schtick is all fantasy and lies.

And it’s rather obvious.

Always has been to me.
I don’t get that people buy his fake “authenticity”.

Or maybe he'll claim he was talking about "bazoombas".

“Fat” did misstate the facts slightly. He said to Joe, “You, on the other hand, sent your son over there to get a job and work for a gas company...”

Let’s face it... Biden can legitimately dispute the claim that he “sent [his] son over there to get a job and work.”

Why?

1. Hunter apparently never visited Ukraine in his capacity as a Burisma board member, so he wasn’t “sent over there.”

2. Hunter didn’t really get a “job” with Burisma or “work” for them. He simply collected a paycheck remotely for doing nothing other than being Joe Biden’s son.

Since the birth of CSPAN, the entire world had to stomach Biden bully everyone who was forced to have to sit before whatever committee he was on. For thirty years I’ve wanted to kick his filthy teeth out. Now, he’s just a dirty senile old man. His chickens are coming home to roost, as it were.

“Mr. Biden. have you met your new grandson, Burisma Biden?”

“Mr. Biden, if you are elected president, will you continued to swim naked in front of female Secret Service agents when your wife Jill is out of town?”

“Mr. Biden, do you still stand by your “No” vote on the Alaska Pipeline when you were a junior U.S. Senator?”

“Mr. Biden, the New York Post reported that your son Hunter went to a strip club in Washington. The Post claimed that the strippers went out and bought dildos, then came back to the club and used them on Hunter. Do you also enjoy having strippers ram items up your behind?”

“Mr. Biden, if elected president, will you continue to fondle and sniff women and young girls?”

Yeah, Biden lied about his wife’s careless driving causing her own deadly car wreck. And the rat-loving media gladly echoed his lie. Innocent truck driver got painted by Nasty Joe as being under the influence, messed up his life. Joe played the sympathy card BIG on that one. Joe deserves little mercy.

Don't worry Joe, not even the MSM would try a whopper like that.

BTW, Donald Trump bragged that when one is rich and famous, that beautiful women let you grab 'em in the kitty.

But *you* have to settle for pawing little girls and sniffing their hair.

Why is that?

They never explain what was a lie or what has been debunked. And the MSM never asks them.
So the new grandfather Biden is never challenged.

Do you remember when, in an interview in September 2008, he claimed FDR went on the television after the stock market crashed? First, the market crash was 1929 and the president was Herbert Hoover. Second, households didn't have TVs in 1929.
