NBC News released a clip from their interview with Joe Biden in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on President Trump, in which Lester Holt actually asks Biden about him calling Trump an “existential threat” and saying that “it’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”

Biden did say it was a mistake to use the term ‘bullseye’, but said he mean that everyone needed to just focus on Trump and what he’s been saying.

But when Holt asked Biden if he’d taken a step back and done any soul searching over the kind of rhetoric he’s been using “that could incite people who are not balanced”, Biden then once again called Trump a “threat to democracy” and claimed he’s not using divisive rhetoric, but that Trump is…

“How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real, when a president says thinks like he says. Do you just not say anything because it may incite somebody?”

“Look I’ve not engaged in that rhetoric. Now my opponent has engaged in that rhetoric. He talks about there’d be a bloodbath if he loses…”

This is why Biden is such a damned liar. Trump wasn’t saying there’d be a physical bloodbath if he loses. No, he was talking about all of the jobs in the auto industry that would be lost if he doesn’t win. But Biden just can’t tell the truth about Trump because it wouldn’t be controversial if he did.

And for Biden to say he hasn’t engaged in “that rhetoric” is one of his biggest lies. He’s been demonizing MAGA and Trump ever since he got the bully pulpit.

I appreciate that Lester Holt did press Biden on this, but Biden’s answers were outrageous.
