Biden jokingly calls voter who asked about Iowa a ‘lying dog-faced pony soldier’

HAMPTON, N.H. — Madison Moore warned Joe Biden that the question she was about to ask was going to be a bit mean.

Then the 21-year-old student at Mercer University in Georgia launched into a version of what’s been asked of the former vice president since his disappointing fourth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses:

“How do you explain the performance in Iowa, and why should voters believe that you can win the national election?”

What happened next left her a little shaken, Moore said.

Biden said it was legitimate question, but then turned the spotlight back on her, asking: “Iowa’s a caucus. Have you ever been to a caucus?”

When she indicated yes, he rebuked her “No, you haven’t. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier.”

The phrase was an allusion to a line in a John Wayne movie that Biden had used before. But Moore said she was flummoxed at his reaction to what she thought was a legitimate question.

I think borderline insane would apply to Left’s 2020 line-up: Biden - check, Sanders - check, Warren - oh, hell yes...

Then again with Pelosi, Nadler, Omar, Cortez, Tlaib, Jackson Lee, etc. - maybe being insane is a job requirement to be a Leftist?!
