As Biden shared his remarks with the audience, the man in question stood up, making the following inquiries:
“My wife recently left me. She’s divorcing me. What can I do to get her back? What advice would you give someone like me to get her back?”
Seemingly somewhat incredulous, Biden assured the Iowa man that he’d talk to him after the event. However, the man pressed the issue, wanting to know if he could get an answer right then and there.
This is when the former vice president looked at the man telling him:
“I’m beginning to see why your wife left you.”
Biden then reiterated his point, stating that he’d discuss with the man afterward.

Since this incident, some folks have raised questions about the appropriateness of asking a presidential candidate for marriage advice. However, Biden’s treatment of this individual is one of many examples. Furthermore, it shows the former vice president’s dismissiveness towards voters who are not 100% in favor of him and/or who challenge him.
