Chris Matthews began his interview with Joe Biden by actually giving him boxing gloves.

You may recall that last week, Biden was so outraged by Donald Trump‘s comments about women, he said, “I wish we were in high school and I could take him behind the gym.”

So Matthews told Biden tonight he thought he could use some boxing gloves for that.

The VP went on to explain what he meant by that remark about Trump, saying that he was in locker rooms a lot when he was in school and it’s “not true” to say what Trump said on that bus in 2005 is “locker room talk.”

“He is,” Biden said, “trying to dumb down––he’s insulting everybody in the neighborhoods I come from and the people who play ball… This is just absolutely unacceptable behavior, period.”
