From the New York Post: President Biden repeatedly scolded NBC anchor Lester Holt in an interview Monday — exclaiming at one point, “What’s with you guys? Come on, man!” — as he defended his criticism of Donald Trump despite calling on Americans to “lower the temperature” after the assassination attempt on the former president Saturday.
The 81-year-old president lashed out when Holt pressed him on his disastrous June 27 debate performance and bristled when the journalist asked him about former Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance.
“Are you seeing what [viewers] saw, which was moments of frankly, that appeared to be — you appeared to be confused?” Holt asked the president.
“Lester, look, why don’t you guys ever talk about the 18, the 28 lies (Trump) told? Where are you on this? Why didn’t the press ever talk about that? Twenty-eight times it’s confirmed he lied in that debate,” Biden exclaimed.
WATCH BELOW as Biden got huffy with Holt when confronted over his bad debate:
NBC: Did you re-watch the debate?
BIDEN: No.
NBC: Are you seeing what they saw? Moments of confusion.
BIDEN (creepy whisper): Why don’t you guys ever talk about Trump? Where are ya!?
NBC: Just asking the questions!
BIDEN: *angry* pic.twitter.com/2mxZ5pxUCr

Holt called out Biden over his recent comment about putting Trump “in the bullseye,” which has resurfaced after the narrowly missed assassination attempt against Trump.

More bumbles and bizarre claims below:
LESTER HOLT: “Is it acceptable that you have still not heard—at least publicly—from the Secret Service director?”
BIDEN: “Oh, I’ve heard from him!”
Kimberly Cheatle is The Secret Service Director. A woman. Appointed by Biden.

I’ve been doing this a long time, I know I’m not a young guy.
But I’ve gotten more done than any president has in a long, long time.
I’m willing to be judged on that.pic.twitter.com/HilcERFprR
