Biden jokes about his ‘behind the gym’ Trump comment

Vice President Biden joked Wednesday that he wouldn’t repeat his wish to take Donald Trump “behind the gym” over his obscene comments about women. 

After railing on Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, for his business practices and attempts to court workers, Biden said: “I’m gonna be good.”

Biden raised eyebrows last month when he said he wanted to take Trump “behind the gym.”

“The press always asks me, ‘Don’t I wish I was debating him?’ ” he said during a Clinton rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Oct. 21. “No, I wish we were in high school and I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish.”

The billionaire has responded by arguing that he would have faced harsh backlash if he had said something similar, but he has repeatedly said he’d be up for a sparring match with the vice president.

“Oh, I dream of that,” he said last week at a rally in Ohio.

“You know what you do to Biden?” Trump said, miming blowing Biden over with a puff of air. “He’d fall right over.”

{mosads}At the Wednesday event, Biden didn’t hold back from attacking Trump for his rhetoric toward minorities and women and for his business tactics.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this guy doesn’t get it,” Biden said. “Under six bankruptcies, he’s stiffed more workers than you can count.

“And he said on national television during the debate, ‘Maybe I didn’t like the quality of the work.’ Well, Trump, maybe I don’t like the quality of what you say. Maybe I don’t like the quality of who you are.”

Biden said Florida voters could keep Trump out of the White House.

“Win Florida, it’s just done, over, no path, there’s no path for him,” he said.
