DETROIT — Joe Biden had another tense interaction with a voter on the campaign trail, this time over gun rights.
The 2020 Democrat was touring an auto plant in Detroit on Tuesday when he was confronted by a man who accused him of “actively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take away our guns.”

“You’re full of shit,” the two-term vice president shot back. He added, “I support the Second Amendment,” before explaining, as he often does, that the constitutional right is not absolute and that he himself owns weapons.
The pair then continued to clash over Biden’s stance, with Delaware’s 36-year senator referring to an “AR-14.”
“You’re working for me, man,” the worker said.
“I’m not working for you,” he replied.

The squabble broke out while Biden was visiting members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers building the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles assembly plant.
The presidential candidate has had similar run-ins with voters as he seeks to become the 2020 Democratic nominee. In December, he attacked a voter in Iowa after the man questioned whether Hunter Biden profited off his father’s influence within the Obama administration by accepting a $50,000-per-month role with a Ukrainian, oligarch-linked company.
“You’re a damn liar, man,” Biden fired back at the time.
Michigan is one of six states that will weigh in on the race for the right to challenge President Trump on Tuesday. Ahead of the contests, the elder Biden leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the delegate count, 624 to his competitor’s 556. A total of 1,991 delegates are required to become the party’s next standard-bearer.
