"I support the Second Amendment.""You're working for me, man," Wayne shot back.The interaction, in which Biden also told Wayne not to be "such a horse's ass," went viral online and attracted criticism of Biden from Republicans as well as the Sanders campaign."He could have easily said, 'I'm not taking questions,' and I would have very respectfully walked away. But he wanted to listen to my question, and I don't think that he was ready for it," Wayne said."I thought I was pretty articulate and respectful. I didn't try to raise any feathers, and he kind of just went off the deep end," the Michigan voter continued. "I saw that he was digging a hole, and I just kind of let him talk for a while to dig the hole."Wayne concluded that Biden "doesn't need to touch anybody's weapon at all" but added that people should be taught "how to respect firearms and how to use them.""This is a right that we need to protect with our heart and soul. It's not to be infringed," the auto worker said.
