A curious exchange happened off-mic during Thursday's vice presidential debate, with Joe Biden apparently muttering something under his breath to Paul Ryan after a heated exchange over entitlement reform.
The moment comes after several minutes of back-and-forth between the candidates over Ryan's plan to overhaul Medicare, which Biden claims would jeopardize the program and force seniors to pay more money out of pocket for health care. The Republican Congressman responds by accusing his opponent of lashing out at the GOP proposal because the Obama administration can't run on its own record.
When debate moderator Martha Raddatz finally manages to interrupt, the two candidates exchange a glance, and then Biden shakes his head and mutters something to Ryan, laughing.
You can't hear what he says over Raddatz, but you can see his lips move. The comments don't show up in the debate transcript.
Watch the video of the exchange below.
