Speaking at speaking at a campaign rally for Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania Friday, Vice President Joe Biden said that if he and Donald Trump were in high school, we would “take him behind the gym.”

“The press always asks me, ‘don’t I wish I were debating him.’ No, I wish we were in high school—I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish,” Biden said, via video from ABC News posted by the Daily Beast.

Biden’s remark came after a impassioned condemnation of Trump’s comments — from a 2005 Access Hollywood hot mic tape that resurfaced recently — that his fame allowed him to touch and kiss women without their consent.

“What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make,” Biden said.
