Joe Biden Threatens Detroit Autoworker, Calls Him "Full of Sh**" in Argument over Guns
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the campaign trail, former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday told a
union autoworker in Detroit he was "full of sh**" and threatened to
fight him. Biden made the threat during a photo-op at Detroit's first
new auto assembly plant to be built in decades. The exchange began when
the autoworker accused Biden of actively trying to end the Second
Amendment. After cursing at the man, Biden repeatedly told a female aide
to "shush!" before touting his ownership of shotguns and saying he
supports the Second Amendment. Biden threatened to slap the man in the
face and threatened to take him "outside" for a fight. During the
exchange, Biden also mistakenly referred to the AR-15 semiautomatic
assault rifle as an "AR-14."
