The moment presidential candidate Joe Biden told Donald Trump to “shut up” in a heated exchange during the US election debate has everyone talking.
Even former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has chimed in with a brazen response.
Writer Jill Filipovic took to Twitter to say that Biden delivered the “evening line.”
“I’m really sorry for Hillary right now because I’m sure she wanted to say (shut up) and she couldn’t,” she said.
“You have no idea,” Clinton replied.
Biden was asked about the Supreme Court packaging and if he would support it.
That ties into the notion among some Democrats that if Trump succeeds in having his Supreme Court nominee confirmed, Biden should expand the court to add two more justices if elected.
Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on Saturday, choosing a strong conservative to replace the late liberal justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
With Republicans almost certain to confirm Judge Barrett, Trump will have been able to tip the Superior Court to the right on the eve of his difficult reelection bid.
Democrats have complained that Trump should not be able to appoint a new judge so close to the presidential election.
During the debate, Biden did not respond directly to the Supreme Court’s question, instead saying that Americans should speak with their votes.
But the president wouldn’t let him get out of trouble.
“Are you going to fill the field?” Trump asked.
Biden said he was not going to answer the question.
“Why didn’t you answer the question? Radical left,” Trump responded.
“You want to shut up, man?” Biden replied, as the exchange continued.
“Who’s on your list, Joe? Who’s on your list?”
“This is so un-presidential. I’m not going to give a list.”
Moderator Chris Wallace, a veteran Fox News political journalist with a reputation for asking tough questions on both sides, chimed in saying the segment was over.
“We have finished this segment,” he said.
“That was a productive segment, wasn’t it? Keep chattering,” Biden said.
Early in the exchange, Wallace kept asking Trump to let Biden finish what he was saying, and the president constantly interrupted him.
“He doesn’t know how to do that,” Biden said.
“Please let him speak, Mr. President,” Wallace kept saying.
Biden then called Trump a clown.
