Student says Biden 'joke' was "kind of humiliating"

The 21-year-old college student that Joe Biden referred to as a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier” said the insult was “kind of humiliating."

During a New Hampshire campaign stop on Sunday, Madison Moore, who goes to Mercer University, asked the former vice president a question about his underwhelming finish in the Iowa caucuses and got an unusual response.

“How do you explain the performance in Iowa, and why should voters believe that you can win the national election?” she asked.

Biden, 77, responded by asking her if she had ever been to a caucus, and, after Moore nodded, he quipped, “No, you haven’t. You’re a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.”

Although the Biden campaign has said that the strange remark was intended as a joke, Moore told the Macon Telegraph on Monday that to wave it off as a joke was “kind of insulting.”

“It was kind of humiliating to be called a liar on national TV by the former vice president,” Moore said. “Instead of answering that question straightforward, his immediate response was to attempt to invalidate me by exposing my inexperience.”
