NEW HAMPTON, IOWA — Joe Biden lashed out at a voter during a town hall event in Iowa, marking one of the tensest moments the former vice president has faced on the Democratic campaign trail so far.
"You're a damn liar, man. That's not true. And no one has ever said that, no one has heard that," Biden told the 86-year-old man after being asked questions about his role in the Burisma Holdings affair and his age on Thursday afternoon.
Biden's response prompted the man to push back, saying he heard allegations of impropriety regarding his role in the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor that was investigating the board of a company Biden's son, Hunter, was serving on.
"You see it on the TV? I know you do. By the way, that's why I'm not sedentary ... The reason I'm running is that I've been around a long time, and I know more than most people know, and I can get things done. That's why I'm running," Biden said. "And if you wanna check out my shape on, let's do push-ups together men, let's run, let's do whatever you want to do."
