The Detroit construction worker who got into a shouting match with Joe Biden said the former vice president “kind of went off the deep end” when he asked a question about his intent to ban assault weapons.

“I thought I was pretty articulate and respectful. I didn’t try to raise feathers,” Jerry Wayne said Wednesday during an interview with “Fox & Friends.”

“He kind of just went off the deep end. … 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,” Wayne continued. “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.”

During the heated encounter Tuesday at a Fiat-Chrysler auto plant under construction in Detroit, the Democratic presidential front-runner said Wayne was “full of s–t” and dared him to “go outside” to settle their spat.

The hardhat downplayed the former VP’s use of profanity.

“I’m kind of used to it in the workforce. As a politician, I can understand the way how things have gone, you’re not supposed to use profanity,” Wayne said. “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.”

He said when he heard Biden was going to be stopping by the construction site, he “gathered his thoughts.”

As Biden made his way through the crowd of construction workers, Wayne said, he stopped him to pose a question.

Wayne said he first asked Biden about his plans to keep workers employed, “but I don’t think he was ready for it.”

“Also asked him how he wanted to get the vote of the working man when a lot of us wield arms. We bear arms and we like to do that. And if he wants to give us work and take our guns, I don’t see how he’s going to get our vote,” Wayne said.

He said he was puzzled why Biden wants to ban assault weapons but not touch handguns.

“He doesn’t need to touch anybody’s weapons at all. What we need to do, we need to concentrate on teaching people how to respect firearms and how to use them — not take them away,” Wayne said.

He was also asked about Biden’s comment during the argument that he doesn’t work for Wayne.

“Technically speaking, … he was the vice president, he wants to be the president now. You’re a candidate, you work for the American people and if you can’t understand that, then you don’t deserve to have a leg in the race,” Wayne said.

Wayne, who said he didn’t vote for President Trump in 2016 but wouldn’t divulge whom he would vote for in 2020, was also asked about the media attention he’s been getting, including being on the front page of The Post.

“It’s quite a whirlwind. I don’t think that reality really has set in yet,” he said.

“It’s an absolute privilege and honor to be the voice of America when it comes to the firearms. It’s a right we need to protect with our heart and soul, and it shouldn’t be infringed.”
