WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Joe Biden's comments while visiting with New Hampshire Democratic campaign workers are coming under scrutiny.

During the stop in Concord, Biden said "We've gotta lock him up." During Trump's 2016 campaign, crowds would chant "Lock her up," when his then challenger Hillary Clinton was mentioned.

Trump has previously denied leading the chants, telling Fox News in June,“Hillary Clinton, I didn’t say ‘lock her up,’ but the people would all say ‘lock her up, lock her up.'"

In the video, Biden used the quote after describing Trump's plans for a second term.

I know this sounds bizarre – it sounds like if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up. We gotta lock him up," Biden said.

The president, backtracking, said "Politically lock him up. Lock him out. That’s what we have to do."

According to the New York Post, a person close to Biden told the outlet that his follow-up comment meant that he hadn’t intended to call for Trump to be incarcerated.

Vice President Kamala Harris has been known to shut down "lock him up" chants about Trump's legal troubles from rally crowds while on the campaign trail, opting to say "Let the courts handle him."

The Trump campaign responded to Biden's comments with a statement, calling on Harris to condemn Biden's remarks.

Joe Biden just admitted the truth: he and Kamala’s plan all along has been to politically persecute their opponent President Trump because they can’t beat him fair and square. The Harris-Biden Admin is the real threat to democracy. We call on Kamala Harris to condemn Joe Biden’s disgraceful remark," Trump Campaign Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
