In the video, Biden is confronted by a hard hat-wearing worker who accused the former vice president of "actively trying to diminish our Second Amendment right and take away our guns," to which Biden immediately shot back, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e full of shit.鈥 Biden's aides quickly stepped in to try to get him to move along. But after shushing those around him, Biden insisted that 鈥淚 support the Second Amendment,鈥 and compared the issue to exceptions to freedom of speech granted under the First Amendment. (Oprysko, 3/10)
