“Look, Fat,” 2019
Aides scrambled to convince voters not to believe their lying ears after Biden launched a barrage of abuse at a retired Iowa farmer who said he was too old for the presidency and questioned son Hunter’s cushy gig with the scandal-scarred Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
“You’re a damn liar, man,” Biden snarled at Merle Gorman (above) at a campaign stop on Dec. 5, 2019.
“And by the way, I’m not sedentary,” he added — an apparent dig at Gorman’s weight. “Let’s do push-ups together, man, let’s run, let’s do whatever you want to do. Let’s take an IQ test, all right?”
As the contentious exchange continued, Biden grew increasingly agitated, finally saying, “Look, look, fat, look. Here’s the deal.”
“It looks like you don’t have any more backbone than Trump does,” Gorman snapped.
But Biden advisor Symone D. Sanders insisted her boss had said “Look, facts” instead.
“Any assertion VP Biden said a word about the gentleman’s appearance is making this something it is not,” Sanders claimed.
