WATCH: Joe Biden Suggests Republican Lawmaker Should Get Beat Up

“As my brother, who loves to use lines from movies, a John Wayne movie, there’s a good line in a movie, a John Wayne movie where the Indian chief turns to John Wayne and says ‘this is a lying dog-faced pony soldier,'” Biden rambled.


It was Biden that attributed that to an "Indian Chief".

Actually, we have no definitive proof where Joe's quip came from, no one has found an exact quote yet. And that includes the movie you cited.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
