Joe Biden Doubles Down On Heated Town Hall Where He Called Voter A Liar [View all]

https://www.npr.org/2019/12/07/785749848/biden-doubles-down-on-heated-town-hall-where-he-called-voter-a-damn-liar

Voters say they felt Biden's tone was off-putting, especially from a candidate who talks a lot about restoring civility. Biden argues he was just telling it like it is.

"That's not civil?" Biden said. "To call someone who lied a liar?"

One woman, Mary Clark, who is 94, told NPR before a Biden event Friday in Elkader, Iowa, that she was "so disappointed in Biden. That is not the Joe I know. He sounded like Donald Trump in that clip."

If I were to vote in a presidential
