MILWAUKEE — 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.
“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 protested, “We have reported many of the issues,” Biden snapped back.
“No you haven’t! No you haven’t! God love you,” fumed Biden — who falsely claimed at the debate that no troops died on his watch and confusingly said he “finally beat Medicare.”
Later, Biden raised the fact that Vance, an Ohio Republican senator, had criticized Trump in 2016.
“Well, he said something about you,” Holt replied.
“He said some things about me, but see what he said about Trump. What’s up with you guys? Come on, man,” Biden chided.

President Biden repeatedly scolded NBC anchor Lester Holt in an interview Monday
***********
On Monday — the first day of the Republican Convention.
There used to be a ‘quiet period’ when when the candidates would respect the other party’s convention proceedings. But Democrats don’t respect anything.
Yep, you nailed it. Lester was supposed to be more servile.
I think Biden is quoting the LA Times or New York Times, which is very much debatable in itself. No one knows WHAT lies they've actually uncovered.
I’ve heard others say he has turned radically left compared to his younger days.
Honestly he might be tad further left than Obama, in the last 4 years.
Examples are the historic illegal flood and trans, even trans freaks getting nude on the White House lawn.
Even Obama would not go there, which is why I think Jill has considerable influence on him.
Obama killed a lot of people over in the middle east with drones. Lost of Syrians died based on the commands from Obama.
Some were probably terrorists, some not.
Obama was a liberal, but tried to govern somewhat from the center. He kept the loonies in check.
Biden has let the crazy loony liberals take over his administration from the beginning. He has forsaken the middle class working man. So much so that the head of the Teamsters spoke at the Republican National Convention for the very first time.
Those are the folks that are really getting screwed under Biden. People that work for a living. Especially, people that pay taxes and work legally and do not make six figures. They have really been squeezed the last three years. Inflation is really hurting those people. The rent is too damn high for the average working stiff. They can not afford rent, a car payment, groceries, etc.
So, it all comes down to were you better four years ago under Trump? The obvious answer is yes. Except, for those millions of people who have entered the country illegally since Biden was installed.
He was a politician. And he was trying to secure a legacy. He saw himself as a transformative figure.
So that's why he told the loonies "no" sometimes.
Lord help us the guy is cracked.
