Biden calls voter a 'lying dog-faced pony soldier'

Manchester: Former US vice president Joe Biden drew criticism on Sunday after he called a woman a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” at a campaign event in New Hampshire. In an exchange that was widely shared on social media, 21-year-old Georgia college student Madison Moore asked the presidential hopeful to explain his poor performance in the Iowa caucus last week. “Have you ever been to a caucus?” he asked the student, who nodded. Bidden said, “No, you haven’t. You’re a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.” Biden’s campaign press secretary Remi Yamamoto tweeted the comment was a joke: “It’s from a John Wayne movie and he’s made it plenty of times before.” But the remark still drew criticism online.
