Donald Trump Jr. took a shot at former vice president and democratic front-runner Joe Biden for an embarrassing "hairy legs" video that first surfaced way back in 2017 and which he re-tweeted Monday.

"This is worse than 'Corn Pop' wtf???" said Don Jr. in reaction to the resurfaced video. He later retweeted a 26 second-long cartoon created by cartoonist Sven Stoffels that mocks Biden for the "hairy legs" anecdote.

The "Corn Pop" referred to by Don Jr. was a story that went viral in 2017. Biden had a run-in with a gang member named, CornPop.

On the other hand, the two-minute long clip is a small part of a larger 15 minute long video. The original video shows Joe Biden's full speech made June 26, 2017 at the dedication of the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Aquatic Center in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden's anecdote about his hair legs went like this:

" ... I got hairy legs that turn, that, that, that turn blonde in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach into the pool and pull and rub my leg down so it was straight, and watch the hair come back up again ... So I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping up my lap. And I love kids jumping up my lap."

Biden was actually referring to his younger days and how children would rub his leg hair back when he was a lifeguard at a Delaware pool.

Stoffels went further and illustrated what Biden said. Some found Stoffels' cartoon funny; others said it was insulting of Biden.

"This cannot be unseen...Viewer discretion is advised," tweeted @NextLAMayor. "oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh," exclaimed another user.

"Is this worse than anything Trump has recently said?" asked @Cyphr0n. "This is the most cursed thing I've seen in 2019," wrote @GPrime85.

Members of Trump's campaign also took a dig at Biden. Trump's campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh tweeted, "This can't be real life."
