Joe Biden tears into Iowa voter who claimed he sent his son Hunter to work in Ukraine, calling him a 'damn liar' and challenging him to a push-up contest
In a heated Thursday exchange on the campaign trail, former Vice President Joe Biden called an Iowa voter a"damn liar" for claiming Biden sent his son Hunter to work in Ukraine and challenged him to a push-up contest.
In response to concerns over his age, Biden who just turned 77, added:"You want to check my shape? Let's do push-ups man, let's run, let's do whatever you want to do, let's take an IQ test" to resounding applause. The voter shot back:"It doesn't look you have any more backbone than Trump does," causing the crowd to jeer and boo.
Hunter, the eldest of Joe Biden's sons, served on Burisma's board providing legal advice and received a reported salary of around $50,000 a month. Burisma was the subject of an investigation from the Ukrainian prosecutor general's office into whether its founder Mykola Zlochevsky engaged in tax evasion, money laundering, and corruption.
Furthermore, Shokin was not even actively investigating Burisma at the time, and was denounced for being ineffective at his job. When he called for Shokin to be fired, Biden represented the US's official position on the matter, one that was shared by many other Western governments and anticorruption activists in Ukraine, according to The Associated Press.
