Biden calls Trump a ‘lying, dog-faced pony soldier’ after debate, reviving slur he used against voter

President Joe Biden called his election rival Donald Trump a “lying, dog-faced pony solider” after the debate concluded, resurrecting an insult he used against a student during his campaign trail in 2020.

After Biden appeared to struggle throughout the first presidential debate of 2024, held in Atlanta, Georgia, with rambling answers and apparent low energy, the Democratic president and the First Lady, Jill Biden, went to attend a debate watch party after the event.

Biden and his wife made their way to a ballroom at a Hyatt Regency, where his campaign hosted a debate watch party for his supporters and – despite a performance that had many of his own supporters suggesting he be replaced as a candidate – were greeted with chants of “four more years!”

“I can’t thank you all enough,” Jill Biden said. “Joe did such a great job.”

As for her remarks on her husband’s Republican challenger, she asked: “What did Trump do? Lied!”

The president then spoke for a few minutes and thanked his supporters before calling Trump “a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.”

“They’re going to be out there fact-checking,” he added. “I can’t think of one thing that he said was true. Look, we’re going to beat this guy, and I need you in order to beat him. You are the reason why America is as good as we are.”

Biden haspreviously made the remark “lying, dog-faced pony soldier,” including in February 2020 when he used it to 21-year-old student Madison Moore at a town hall after she asked Biden whether voters should believe he could win the general election that year after his poor performance in the Iowa caucus.

«It was a Democratic caucus. Ever been to a caucus?” Biden asked, to which the student nodded yes.

He replied: „Sure you haven’t. You’re a lying,
