Joe Biden took heat for a comment he made at a campaign event when he called a voter "fat" and "sedentary."

The outburst from the former vice president came Thursday at a campaign event in Iowa. The voter initially asked Biden about his son, Hunter Biden, and his connection with Ukraine before the Delaware Democrat attacked him.

"You're a damn liar, man. That's not true," Joe Biden responded before calling the man "fat" and "sedentary."

"And if you wanna check out my shape on, let's do push-ups together, man, let's run, let's do whatever you want to do," Biden added.

His attack was met with swift condemnation online from people who said a candidate should not be attacking voters.

[ Opinion: The Bidens don't get a free pass]



This voter acknowledges Trump's misdeeds wrt Ukraine before asking Biden about Burisma/his son. Biden calls him a "damn liar" and "fat." If this is how he responds to q's from someone who thinks Trump's guilty, how is he going to make it through a general election? Some Malarky! https://t.co/qxr4IlwQim — Batya Ungar-Sargon (@bungarsargon) December 5, 2019

Joe Biden nearly calls a guy asking him a question "fat ass".

What's interesting is Biden calling him fat wasn't a slip of the tongue, earlier in the exchange he had looked down at the voters stomach and called him sedentary. (32 seconds) https://t.co/6mfuAXbNQz — Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) December 5, 2019
