Vice President Joe Biden got a bit testy with a reporter Wednesday, snapping “don’t screw around with me” after he was quesioned about his forceful rhetoric in favor of the Jobs Act. Biden has on several occasions suggested that because passing the bill could boost police numbers, it’s therefore dangerous to public safety to not pass the bill. These comments have been rather taken out of context by some prominent sites on the right and have morphed into something of a meme on the right, suggesting that Biden is implying not passing the bill will lead to an increase in rapes and murders.
Biden was questioned by Human Events reporter Jason Mattera, a conservative who says he specializes in “ambush interviews.”
