The part about banning Muslims was kind of a giveaway.

While Joe Biden didn't explicitly name Donald Trump during his speech at a Washington think tank on Monday, the vice president's message about the presumptive GOP nominee was clear.

During the Center for a New American Security's annual conference, Biden spoke about the openly hostile environment that some candidates -- he didn't name names -- are creating for Muslims this campaign season.

"There are 1.4 billion Muslims in the world," Biden said. "Some of the rhetoric I'm hearing sounds designed to radicalize all 1.4 billion."

He also criticized Trump's foreign policy positions, as well as his stance on Russia, which Biden said would "call into question America's longstanding commitment to a Europe whole, free and at peace."

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
