Vice President Joe Biden faced off Thursday against a heckler who yelled “my friend died” during a recent battle in Syria.

Biden was speaking at a campaign event for Hillary Clinton in Parma, Ohio, when a man interrupted and criticized the Obama administration’s decision to demand the retreat of Syrian Kurdish fighters back east of the Euphrates River after helping U.S.-backed Syria Democratic Forces achieve victory against the Islamic State in Manbij earlier in the month.
