Joe Biden said he wanted to take Trump behind the bleachers and beat him up. No one on Clinton’s side disavowed that call to violence because, we assume, they consider it justified hyperbole, but, as NBC News reports, it appears Donald Trump is in.
While campaigning for Hillary Clinton last week in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, the veep said he’s always asked by reporters if he wished he were the one debating Trump.
“No,” Biden responded. “I wish we were in high school. I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish.”
Rounding out a full day of rallies in Florida Tuesday night, the GOP nominee went off on a tangent against Biden, calling him “Mr. Tough Guy” for comments the VP made last week that if it were high school he’d take Mr. Trump “behind the gym.”
Trump remembered the comments slightly differently — he said, “did you see Biden wants to take me to the back of the barn?” — but wasn’t deterred by the sentiment behind them.

“I’d love that,” he said of the idea of the two grown men tussling as if they were high schoolers.
“Oh, some things in life you could really love doing,” Trump added.
Trump attacked Biden as a “Mr. Tough Guy when he’s standing behind a microphone by himself.”

Of course we can only imagine how the mainstream media will spin this “violence.”
