During a campaign stop Tuesday morning, Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden was captured on video arguing with a Michigan auto worker over gun rights, telling the potential voter he’s a “horse’s a**” and “full of s***,” and challenging him to take it “outside,” apparently suggesting the two engage in a physical fight.
The jarring incident “shows Biden getting extremely agitated during a casual question-and-answer session with line workers at a Michigan auto factory — members of a demographic Biden desperately needs to win over in order to make a play for the all-important battleground state,” The Daily Wire outlined Tuesday.
Biden was quickly hit with backlash online over the jarring altercation.
“This is just nuts,” responded gun rights activist and radio host Dana Loesch. “The guy has Biden’s number and Biden reacts the way every gun control activist acts when challenged by fact: Yelling and insulting the person pressing the question.”
“No, Biden does not support the Second Amendment,” she added.

The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway called Biden’s response to the man a “meltdown,” and praised the union worker for keeping his calm as the Democrat challenged him to take it “outside.”
“Really liked how bearded [Michigan] voter handled the Biden meltdown,” Hemingway posted via Twitter. “Asked a great 2nd [Amendment] question. Firmly but nicely told Biden to stop sticking his finger in his face. And didn’t ‘go outside’ when Biden challenged him (in which Biden would have gotten seriously injured, obviously).”

Vocal conservative and award-winning actor James Woods pointed out that Biden has tapped failed presidential candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke to lead his gun agenda. O’Rourke heavily campaigned on gun confiscation, memorably telling the American public during a Democratic presidential primary debate, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take you AR-15.”
“[Joe Biden] conveniently forgot he said this on camera to self-avowed gun-grabber [Beto O’Rourke]: ‘I want to make something clear – I’m gonna guarantee you…you’re gonna take care of the gun problem with me, you’re gonna be the one who leads this effort,'” said Woods.

The president’s 0ldest son, Donald Trump Jr., suggested Biden’s aggressive behavior was connected to Alzheimer’s disease.
“From the Alzheimers association webpage ‘Aggressive or angry behaviors may occur in people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias,'” Don Jr. posted. “A 50 year career politician doesn’t snap back this way to a blue collar guy asking him a reasonable question given his parties stance on the issue.”

“Americans deserve to know…if Joe Biden was elected President, then who would be the President?” asked Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY). “It would be good for one of the handlers on his team to disclose who would actually be in charge.”

“Liberals cannot seriously think this guy is capable of being president,” said The Daily Wire’s Jessica Fletcher. “He tells a man asking a legitimate question he’s ‘full of shit,’ calls him a ‘horse’s ass,’ gets in his face, and tells his aide to ‘shush’ more than once.”
“He is not fit for the job,” she emphasized.
