bostonangler Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Former Vice President Joe Biden uttered an odd line during a question and answer session in New Hampshire over the weekend, calling a voter a “lying dog-face pony soldier.” At an event in Hampton, 21-year-old student Madison Moore asked Biden why he fared so poorly in the Iowa caucuses, where he came in fourth place. “Iowa’s a Democratic caucus,” Biden said. “You ever been to a caucus?” Moore nodded yes, but Biden wasn’t buying it. “No, you haven’t,” he said. “You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier.” Biden has had some tense moments on the campaign trail, including calling a voter in Iowa a “damn liar.” Last month, he told someone to “go vote for somebody else.” In this case, the line was a joke and many in the room laughed, including the woman who questioned him. However, she later issued a statement saying that while she had never been to a caucus, she didn’t appreciate the comment. “It is totally irrelevant whether I’ve been to a caucus or not,” Moore told The Washington Post. “Joe Biden has been performing incredibly poorly in this race. His inability to answer a simple question from a nobody college student like me only exacerbates that reality.” Biden has used the line before. Reuters reported that he has said it’s a reference to the 1953 John Wayne movie “Hondo.” A search of the script revealed a few references to pony soldiers and lying, but not together nor with the dog-faced portion. Some on social media suggested Biden may have been referencing “Pony Soldier,” a 1952 film that starred Tyrone Power and not John Wayne. However, according to Slate, the line as Biden used it never appeared in that film, either. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/joe-biden-lying-dog-faced-pony-soldier-065425461.html Joe is losing it... I think his run is coming to an end. B/A 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
