fights for the 2020 Democratic nomination, the former vice president has had to contend with some major vulnerabilities, from his age to his sonand his allies have seized on in an attempt to deflect impeachment efforts. On Thursday, a voter in Iowa confronted Biden about both of these issues—and Biden did not handle the criticism well.
Biden insisted that “No one has said my son has done anything wrong and I did not on any occasion,” after the Iowa voter raised objections to how Biden had “sent your son over [to Ukraine] to get a job and work for a gas company that he had no experience with gas or nothing in order to get access for the president.” When the voter—who introduced himself as an “old, Iowa retired farmer”—protested Biden’s comments, insisting that he didn’t say Biden did anything wrong, Biden again shot back.
The argument continued, with Biden appearing to insult the man’s appearance by saying, “But look, fat, here’s the deal.” The voter responded that “it looks like you don’t have any more backbone than Trump does” and that he wouldn't be voting for Biden, which the vice president did not seem to have a problem with. “You think I’d thought you’d stand up and vote for me?” Biden said. “You’re too old to vote for me.
Keep it up Joe, doing great!
kmac5999 Nice He's Joe Biden He's here to Hug U from Behind!
Vanity Fair... you still run cover for Joe Bidenidiot ....that in itself shows the value of your reporting...Zero!!!!
Was Biden talking to himself? The man asked a perfectly honest question.
Tragedy has set in! Voters no longer trust or respect the political class. Whether your a lifelong politician or a fat cat from NY, the American people are fed up. When an OWG tells another OWG he’s to old to be president, it’s clear the anger is deep.
On the one hand, Joe is defending his son & himself. On the other hand, voter's question & statement aren't a surprise; simple aggressive denial isn't the best response, imo. Like it or not, the GOP will drag Joe over the coals about his son's drug use, too. Welcome to politics.
What would happen if OUR ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP said DAMN in a comment.
PEOPLE SEE PEOPLE THE WAY THEY SEE THEMSELFS. 101 psychology! Americans know who is a lier! Americans also know who collected the money from Ukraine. YOU American also know who was thrown out of OUR Military for drugs. Your Son
Well, if this doesn’t end JoeBiden’s chances for election pray tell what could? Jack? Fat? Is it possible to be more disrespectful of a voter? Is it possible to find a candidate with as thin skin & wholly unable to handle criticism? Yikes! This is TheDemocrats front runner?
Glad Joe Biden dealt with this nutty T supporter forcefully.
Biden and Bernie are 'too old'! who wants these ancient people in office anyway it's time for some younger people with some new ideas not somebody with 1 foot in the grave and old politics in mind.
Oops
The man showed up and respectfully asked legit questions. Joe got all defensive and lost his cool. How will he act when an enemy challenges him? And how would he do in a push-up contest with Castro or Booker? I bet Warren could out-do him too.
Dude that clip was so juicy I loved it. Biden Trump all day every day
Joe. Go take a seat. Many even several
Nice.
Why is it everything I hear from the Biden campaign trail sounds like a meme or bad joke 😂
Joe Biden's a complete joke. Someone needs to intervene and put him in an old folks' home for his own safety and his own good. And the good and safety of this country as well.
Please Dems, don’t nominate either of the two altakakas. We don’t need a President who will effectively be 80 yrs old on Inauguration Day.
