Merlee Gorman, hero

The Iowa man who challenged Joe Biden during a campaign event on Thursday told The Post he had no regrets about the heated exchange.
“I’m positive 90% of the people there didn’t know about his son working on the board in Ukraine. I wanted it brought out there,” said 83-year-old Merle Gorman, referring to Biden’s son Hunter’s job at a Ukrainian gas company.
“If it educated them a little bit, so be it,” Gorman said. “I’m glad it happened.”
During a routine campaign stop in New Hampton, Gorman set the former vice president off when he accused him of sending Hunter to work for Burisma Holdings.
“You’re a damn liar, man. That’s not true. And no one has ever said that,” Biden, 77, raged.
Gorman said: “The exchange speaks for itself. He didn’t have the guts to explain the situation, and that’s what I wanted.”
“He got pissed off and stomped around … he wasn’t happy at all,” Gorman continued. “He started mumbling, saying it wasn’t true.”
“After today, he told me what he’s made out of … he’s got a wet noodle for a backbone.”
Gorman, who said he is a Marine Corps veteran and retired farmer, went to the event because it was taking place a couple of blocks from his home, and was spurred to ask about Hunter’s Ukraine dealings after hearing the other questions from the crowd.
“All the others were softballs questions, they might as well have been asking him what color the chandelier was in the vice president’s office,” Gorman said.

I’m not buying this guy is a Democrat who voted for Obama. He speaks like a Deplorable. Hats off to him.
Good on ya, Merle!
Good man.
Joe got triggered!
Merlee Gorman: hero/Marine/American!
He kicked ass. Biden screwed the pooch. I disagree with him about Trump but he’s damn sure entitled to his opinion. Asphalt, gravel, or concrete, we are entitled to or opinion.
Quote from The Godfather.
DNC killing off one candidate at a time?
I remember this game.
I hope I’m wrong.
Slo Joe gotta go
Merle was very polite in using the expression “sending Hunter to work for Burisma Holdings”. Hunter didn’t do a lick of work as he had no qualifications, couldn’t speak Ukrainian, etc.
“Joe the Plummer” treatment upcoming for this man. I hope he’s prepared. If he’s a Marine, he’s prepared.
Rush ended his show with news of the guy being surrounded by Big Media - possibly being forced to leave. Look forward to seeing what Madcow has to say about it.
God bless him. The pajama boys will try to ruin his life now—no doubt they’ve been working on it all day.
You should see the folks who got Biden's phony Wizard tip calculators!
Are he and Joe going to do push-ups? Did they schedule their work out yet?
Merlee Gorman, USMC, Hoorah!
Thank you, Mr. Gorman, for exposing crooked Biden and his son to your Iowa friends! You did Iowan voters a big favor.
Watch your back, Mr. Gorman. The Left doesn’t take kindly to regular folk who step out of line.
