MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: During an NBC interview, President Joe Biden snapped at the host Lester Holt several times, asking, "What's up with you guys? Come on, man!" justifying his criticism of Donald Trump even as he urged people to turn down the heat in response to the former president's assassination attempt.

Biden reacted angrily when Holt questioned him about his appalling performance in the first presidential debate and became defensive when the reporter inquired about Trump's running mate, JD Vance

Holt questioned Biden, "Are you seeing what [viewers] saw, which was moments of frankly, that appeared to be — you appeared to be confused?"

Biden replied, "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."



 

He added, "Seriously, you won’t answer the question, but why didn’t the press talk about all the lies he told? I haven’t heard anything about that."

When Holt said 'We have reported many of the issues', Biden replied, "No you haven’t! No you haven’t! God love you," said Biden who incoherently stated he "finally beat Medicare" and erroneously said during the debate that no soldiers died while under his command.  

Subsequently, Biden brought up the fact that Ohio Republican senator Vance had chastised Trump back in 2016. Holt replied, "Well, he said something about you."

Biden stated, "He said some things about me, but see what he said about Trump. What’s up with you guys? Come on, man."

Despite calling on Americans to "lower the temperature" in response to the attempted assassination of Trump, Holt pushed the President at one point in the interview when he launched into an extensive critique of the president.

Holt said, "This doesn’t sound like you’re turning down the heat though" to which Biden replied, "Well, no, no, no, no. Look, what I’m turning down — we have to stop the whole notion that there are certain things that are contrary to our democracy that we’re for."

He added, "The idea of saying that you, that I didn’t win the election when every court in the land… including the conservative Supreme Court said we won, the idea of having a loyalty pledge from all of the folks."

Internet slams Joe Biden for snapping during NBC interview

Internet users blasted President Joe Biden as he snapped at NBC host Lester Holt during an interview and justified his criticism of Donald Trump even as he urged people to turn down the heat in response to the former president's assassination attempt.

One user said, "So clueless, such a liar. Who knows what he's capable of but from looking at what he's directed his lackeys to do to Trump over the past year or so, nothing would surprise me" and "I had the sense that Lester was embarrassed for Joe dementia during the interview."

A person also wrote, "President Biden’s handlers can repackage him daily but he will remain the same ineffective candidate for the highest position in our country. The Democrats are in free fall". At the same time, one added, "A journalist should ask Biden to detail all 28 of the alleged lies."

A user also mentioned, "The charade is over, Joe. You’re a catastrophic failure on every level. Not only will history know it but any logical and kind person knows it now."
