Biden suggests he'd like to smack 'macho guys' during final campaign stop
President Joe Biden has returned to his birthplace in Scranton, Pennsylvania, making a final campaign stop for Vice President Kamala Harris
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — President Joe Biden returned to his birthplace in Pennsylvania, making a final campaign stop Saturday for Vice President Kamala Harris and again let loose — offering the kind of unfiltered political sentiments that have become fairly common in recent weeks.
Biden slammed Harris' rival, former Republican President Donald Trump, and his supporters on policy issues during a speech in Scranton, but then suggested that he'd hit back — literally — on faux “macho guys.”
“There’s one more thing Trump and his Republican friends want to do. They want to have a giant tax cut for the wealthy,” Biden told the local chapter of the carpenters union. Then, apparently referencing people backing Trump, he added, “Now, I know some of you guys are tempted to think it’s macho guys.”
“I tell you what, man, when I was in Scranton, we used to have a little trouble going down the plot once in a while," Biden continued. “These are the kind of guys you’d like to smack in the ass.”
