In a statement released a few hours later, Moore wrote, I asked Joe Biden a fair question. His immediate response was to question whether I had ever attended a caucus. In my nervousness in the presence of the former Vice President, I nodded yes.
Moore has not been to a caucus, she said. But she also accused Biden of insulting her, writing in reality, it is totally irrelevant whether Ive been to a caucus or not. Joe Biden has been performing incredibly poorly in this race. His inability to answer a simple question from a nobody college student like me only exacerbates that reality.

He didn't "call Warren out". He was the one being called out and he lied about it.
