A protester who appears to be part of the comedy group The Good Liars disrupted former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign event in North Liberty, Iowa.
“I just want to say that you’re a fine candidate, and I’m planning on settling for Biden in 2020,” said the man wearing a “Settle for Biden” shirt. “I think we should all settle for Biden. I think you could be the Hillary of 2020.”

Biden supporters shouted for the man to “sit down” before breaking into a “Let’s go Joe” chant.
“I’ll tell you what, man,” said Biden. “I thought they were exaggerating when the Republicans said they were sending out 80 people to participate in the Democratic caucus here. Well, I’m not sure who he’s with, but, hey, by the way, give us back your Joe shirt, OK?”
Biden, 77, once the clear front-runner in the 2020 presidential race, has been overtaken by Sen. Bernie Sanders in recent polling from Iowa.
