Presidential contender Joe Biden called a college student in New Hampshire a "lying, dog-faced pony soldier" during a campaign event on Sunday, just two months after he unloaded on an Iowa voter whom he called a "damn liar."

The campaign trail headscratchers came as Biden, 77, has gone on the offensive following his disappointing fourth-place finish in last week's maligned Iowa caucuses, well behind rivals Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

The student, Madison, of Mercer University in Georgia, began by asking Biden how he could remain competitive in the race after that performance.

"It's a good question," Biden responded. "Number one: Iowa's a democratic caucus. You ever been to a caucus? No you haven't. You're a lying, dog-faced pony soldier. You said you were; but now you got to be honest. I'm gonna be honest with you. It was a little bit confusing in Iowa."

Biden had used the bizarre phrase in January as well, in response to a question about President Obama's broken promise that individuals would be guaranteed the option to keep their doctors under the Affordable Care Act.

Contrary to Biden's previous suggestions that the line was from a John Wayne movie, TMZ reported that the phrase may have come from the 1952 Tyrone Power film called "Pony Soldier."

Nevertheless, the moment drew mockery from conservatives and other commentators.

"If he can’t handle a simple question from one of his own supporters, how can Joe Biden possibly take on Donald Trump one on one for six months?" asked Donald Trump, Jr., on Twitter.

George Washington University law professor and GOP impeachment witness Jonathan Turley added: "Hmmm, Biden does not appear to be confining his 'go negative' strategy to [Pete] Buttigieg, but seems to think it will work with voters. Calling a voter 'a lying dog-faced pony soldier' must be a new voter suppression strategy by targeting your own voters."


Film at 11.... 😟

Geez. I hope he doesn't win the nomination. He's gotten old and nasty. At least he doesn't seem angry all the time like Bernie.

Biden is a very unstable moron.

Wait, I thought nasty is what the right likes.

Should he have said “punch him in the face”?

did he challenge him to a pushup contest?

trout fishing at 30 paces...this is New Hampsha don't yah know...

I'm too late, they got to you.

still baffles me that Trump feared him so much he was willing to do the shady sham with Ukraine

I've lived up here since 1984, and my wife's family still refers to me as a flatlander.....](*,)

well, at that point Biden hadn't said much in public and no one knew he had slipped so badly.
He had decades of international and military experience and a zillion relationships with powerful people all over the world.
But he has since shown Trump had no need to go down that risky path.

have they seen you in one of those evening gowns?

Think about what you just said AL...…...it never made sense in that context.However investigating corruption......Now wasn't that easy

They're not worthy

Biden is O.V.E.R.

BIDEN HAS DEMENTIA...

BIDEN GREENLIGHTED MY SORRY AZZ AT THE OCCIDENTAL GRILLE IN 2013-14???

BUT, I'M STILL ABOVE GROUND THANKS TO TRIFECTA LIFELONG HANDSHAKES WITH UNCLE BILL COLBY, AVORHAM SHALLM, AND THE GATE KEEPER ARLEN SPECTER...

I'VE WARNED YOU IMBECILES OVER THREE DOZEN TIMES...


DO

NOT

F**K

WITH

ME...

NOW GARY IS SIX FEET UNDER...OR IN A LATVIAN NUDEST CAMP IN A COMA...

Am I included? Oh, I hope so.
It’s an honor to be called an “IMBECILE” by you Jones.

Aren't you more the idiot type?

Savant - yes

I get the feeling that he doesn't even want to do this. He was pushed into it. He knows he's a big dumbass. He's not very intelligent either. Running a campaign where you have stops that have 25-50 people and now he chooses to not only grope people but insult them too?

He was the closest thing to middle ground the DNC has in this debacle. Said he had the black vote and could beat Trump. This guy couldn't go toe to toe with him if he tried. It would be a public meltdown catastrophe if it did.

His wife spoke to a group in someone's home. Looked like she had 8 or 9 people there. Wow!

sure it was...even though all that was wanted from Ukraine Presdident was a public announcement...not a real investigation...

a real investigation of a prominent Dem American citizen accused of corruption...his base would have loved that...LOCK HIM UP at every rally.....which he could've had his trusted and loyal Attorney General/DOJ Director Barr do...but he didn't...because.....
