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?"

No wonder he’s in fourth place in IA.
What was the lie?
[[[What was the lie?]]]
Anything asked of Biden.
The definition of a wuss is when you need to be in a mob.
Like an international crime syndicate, or a “deep state.”
Or any run of the mill family mafia like the Bidens or the Pelosis.
David Brooks admired his mental fortitude in standing up to an 83 year old voter. That took guts.
These people are melting down.
Another day, another script read.
When Trump does it, he’s hitting below the belt. When Biden does it, why he’s just defending the truth.
Just don’t accuse the Democrat media of bias.
No problem Joe...cause you can’t man up to Trump you p***y.
I hope he gets challenged at every rally, I mean small room of people. And heckled with the work “Malarkey” when he spouts off BS.
Everyone is talking about what he said. Look at the body language. The way Biden approached that guy while berating him was a physical show of force. He was attempting to cause the guy to back down, which he seems to have done temporarily, but then stands his ground.
There is no comparison Joe, you complete idiot.
I’ve known guys in the mafia there were cruel but also BRUTALLY tough, even if alone and it didn’t really matter how many were against them.
But I would be you’re right and that more rather than less are not so tough alone.
Joe can never compare to PDJT.
Dirty Old Joe is becoming a caricature of himself, another messed up American political character, like Hillary and Nancy and Maxine.
“...thin skinned and not used to being stood up to.”
That goes for many D’rats and MSM mouthpieces.
Someone should just ask him if he’s a pedophile at every chance.
Ask him about being a new grandfather.
Ask him what he thought about Hunter boinking his dead son’s wife.
Ask what was on his wife’s finger to cause him to lick it?
That should be enough to drive him into a blind rage.
I’ve seen thicker skin on a bowl of pudding. He couldn’t last 10 minutes in Trump’s world.
