Vice President Biden went after Donald Trump on Saturday over the GOP presidential nominee’s treatment of workers and his ability to understand the working class.

“Well, ladies and gentlemen, the guy running for president of the United States — he doesn’t understand, he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t treat people with dignity and respect,” Biden told union members in Nevada while campaigning for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

{mosads}”This man is unfit to be the president of the United Stated of America,” Biden said.

The vice president also blasted Trump’s lack of foreign policy experience and his position on Russia.

“This is a man who is devoid of any substantive knowledge about American security. This is a man who literally said … that Russia has not invaded Ukraine and that they already owned Crimea. This is a guy who talks about [Russian President Vladimir] Putin … as being a strong leader, undermining, undermining our allies,” Biden argued.

“When 17 intelligence communities come out and say to him the Russians are hacking, they are hacking, and Putin is the one doing it … he says the intelligence community does not know what they are talking about,” Biden said.

“This is about what message does that send to the rest of the world!” he exclaimed to applause.

Trump has repeatedly slammed Biden after the vice president said he wanted to meet Trump “behind the gym” over his lewd comments about women. Trump appeared to take Biden up on the idea this week, mockingly calling the vice president “Mr. Tough Guy.”

Biden continued to slam Trump on Saturday, criticizing the Republican nominee over his strategy to combat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), his view on nuclear weapons, immigration and his 2005 remarks about being able to grope women because of his celebrity.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve spent my whole career … trying to change the culture, and here a presidential candidate says because he is famous and powerful, he can grope any woman he wants and quote, ‘They let him do it.’ That is a textbook definition of sexual assault,” Biden said.

“I shouldn’t have gotten started on Trump,” the vice president added jokingly, throwing up his hands after several minutes of criticizing the businessman.
