Reporters and campaign enthusiasts alike were shocked and confused when Biden called a woman “dog-faced” and a liar for asking a question about why he did so poorly in Iowa. And there’s video:
I’m gonna say right up front that I am not calling for outragey outrage on what Joe Biden just did to a woman who asked a simple question.
BUT, note the reaction here:
Biden initially asked the student if she had ever caucused before, and I guess she said yes (I didn’t see or hear what she said), and then I believe he replied, in a joking way: “you’re a lying dog faced pony soldier”???? Which is not a phrase I have ever heard????? ???

The reaction is just surprise, like “oh, that Joe, he’s so silly.” Now imagine if Mitt Romney had called a woman “dog-faced” in 2012, or if Trump had… well OK, Trump has done similar things, so we’re kinda losing on that debate. BUT the point is that they called Trump a misogynist and a sexist over similar comments, but with Joe they suddenly forget the outrage.
AND it’s not the first time!
But are you gonna see the media drudge up all the crazy bizarre times Biden has acted creepily towards women in order to make this look worse and inspire outrage at his campaign? NOPE. That kind of irrational ire is reserved just for Republicans. And every day, it seems, we see examples like this that proves it…
