Joe Biden Lashes Out at Iowa Town Hall over His Son Hunter's Work in Ukraine
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Presidential candidate and former vice president Joe Biden lashed out at
a town hall in Iowa Thursday after an audience member suggested Biden
helped his son, Hunter, get a lucrative job in Ukraine. Hunter Biden had
been on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, and the
Republicans have been spreading debunked conspiracy theories about
Hunter's position. This is a retired farmer from Iowa.

Iowan farmer: "But you on the other hand, sent your son over there to
get a job and work for a gas company that he had no experience with gas
or nothing, in order to get access to, for the President. So you're
you're selling access to the president just like he was. "

Joe Biden: "You're a damn liar man. That's not true. And no one has ever
said that. Oh yeah, by the way and that's why I am not sedentary. No No
No, let him go."

And that was former vice president Joe Biden, lashing out at the town
hall in Iowa Thursday.
