Julian really stepped in it.
Purely a rookie move, based on him reading too many reports of Biden being old and of how that's inherently a "problem."
Would have been nice however to see a retort like, "If you're going to attack me with veiled ageism at least get your topic facts straight first."
Thing is, Julian knew it was a cheap shot, it seems like he was eager to find a chance to use it, and he didn't even pick a good gotcha moment. It was amateurish and cheap, and made him look rude and foolish.
I thought Biden handled it perfectly. He stuck to the point being discussed, didn't take the ageist bait, and let Julian hang out there with his insult, the crowd clearly unhappy and bothered by it.
