A Detroit auto worker who got into heated exchange with Joe Biden Joe BidenCast of 'Parks and Rec' reunite for virtual town hall to address Wisconsin voters Biden says Trump should step down over coronavirus response Biden tells CNN town hall that he has benefited from white privilege MORE about gun control on Tuesday told Fox News that the former vice president “kind of went off the deep end.”

“I thought I was pretty articulate and respectful. I didn’t try to raise feathers,” Jerry Wayne told "Fox & Friends" regarding the viral video regarding his confrontation with the 2020 presidential frontrunner.

“He kind of went off the deep end," said Wayne, who accused Biden of being "caught in a lie."

"Once he got caught in a lie, I kind of wanted to ask him why he wanted to take our long arms rather than the handguns. To me that’s very skeptical. If you care about human life, wouldn’t you want to go after the tool that’s used the most,” he said.

Wayne said he believed Biden was interested in confiscating guns because of remarks the former vice president made at an event last week where former Rep.

Biden said he would call on O'Rourke's assistance in executing on gun control policies.

As a presidential candidate in 2019, O'Rourke advocated a mandatory government buyback program. Biden has not done so.

"When you were with Beto [O’Rourke] when you said you were going to take our guns," Wayne said before Biden cut him off.

“I did not say that!” Biden retorted before clarifying his administration would only seek to “take your AR-14s" in an apparent reference to AR-15s.

Biden proceeded to insist he supported the Second Amendment while also saying Wayne was "full of s**t." The 77-year-old also appeared to challenge Wayne to a physical confrontation by asking him "to go outside" to settle matters.

“I’m kind of used to it in the workforce," Wayne said of Biden's use of profanity. "As a politician, I can understand the way how things have gone, you’re not supposed to use profanity. But in this day and age, it’s a language. I’m not going to hate him for that ... I don’t think that’s something to beat the guy up about. But he could have curbed a little of what he said.”
