Vice President Joe Biden mocked Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a clueless cynic who’s already posing a threat to U.S. security in a fiery speech delivered in his first joint campaign appearance with Hillary Clinton.

Biden took the stage in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Monday to vouch for the Democratic nominee’s empathy for the working class but then shifted into a scathing attack on Trump’s grasp of national security and his remarks about Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. allies. He zeroed in on Trump’s statement last week that President Barack Obama founded Islamic State, which the Republican has said was meant to be sarcastic.
