Jill Biden told “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert that she was surprised anyone would criticize her for referring to herself as a doctor despite not having a medical degree.

“You once said in your own memoir, ‘The role I always felt most at home in is Dr. Biden,’” Colbert began. “Now some people have recently taken upon themselves to question that title of yours. Do you have any reaction to those people?”

Colbert was apparently referencing a Saturday op-ed by Joseph Epstein in The Wall Street Journal titled “Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if You Need an M.D.” Epstein, a former lecturer at Northwestern University who served as editor of The American Scholar from 1975 to 1997, argued that Jill Biden, who obtained a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware in 2007, should drop the title.

“Yeah, that was such a surprise,” Jill Biden answered Colbert, adding, “It was really the tone of it that I think that you know, he called me ‘kiddo.’ One of the things I’m most proud of is my doctorate; I mean, I worked so hard for it. And, you know, Joe came when I defended my thesis.”

“I got to hand her doctorate on the stage at the University of Delaware,” Joe Biden interjected. “She had two masters’ degrees, she kept going to school all the time while teaching at night, and then what happens is, I said, ‘Jill, why don’t a doctorate and make us some real money.’ She gets a doctorate and gets a $2,000 raise.”

Colbert then suggested that critics went after her for her doctorate because they couldn’t find anything else.
