Biden issued the challenge
last week in response to a recently disclosed 2005 tape in which Trump brags
about sexual predatory behaviour. “I wish we were in high school, and I could
take him behind the gym,” Biden said. “That’s what I wish.”
Donald Trump said Tuesday
he’d “love” to settle things with Vice President Joe Biden mano a mano.
Trump, responding to
Biden’s suggestion last week that he’d like to beat up the GOP presidential
nominee for his comments toward women, mocked Biden and said he’d welcome a
confrontation.
“Did you see? Biden wants
to take me to the back of the barn,” Trump said at a rally in Tallahassee,
Florida. “Me. I’d love that. I’d love that. Mr. Tough Guy. You know, he’s Mr.
Tough Guy.
“You know when he’s Mr.
Tough Guy, when he’s standing behind a microphone by himself,” Trump continued,
standing behind a microphone by himself.
“Some things in life you really
love doing,” Trump added.
Biden on Tuesday expounded
on his remarks in an interview on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” criticizing Trump for
dismissing talk of sexual assault as “locker room talk.”
“The point I was making is
he is trying to dumb down, he’s insulting everybody in the neighbourhoods I
come from and the people who played ball,” Biden told Chris Matthews. “And that
was the point I was trying to make. This is just absolutely unacceptable
behavior, period.”
