President Joe Biden, in his first television interview since his CNN debate with Donald Trump, brushed off the poor performance as a "bad episode" and said he alone was to blame for what transpired.
… “Did you ever watch the debate afterwards?" Stephanopoulos asked Biden.
"I don't think I did, no," the president said.
But did he know how badly it was going while he was on stage?
"Yeah, look. The whole way I prepared, nobody's fault, mine. Nobody's fault but mine. I-- I prepared what I usually would do sitting down as I did come back with foreign leaders or National Security Council for explicit detail. And I realized-- partway through that, you know, all-- I get quoted the New York Times had me down, ten points before the debate, nine now, or whatever the hell it is. The fact of the matter is, what I looked at is that he also lied 28 times. I couldn't-- I mean, the way the debate ran, not-- my fault, nobody else's fault, no one else's fault."
"But it seemed like you were having trouble from the first question in, even before he spoke?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"Well, I just had a bad night," Biden said.
ABC News offered a similar interview opportunity to Trump but he declined.

Nothing to see here, it was all an illusion.
It’s all good... Just a bad day... Look the other way and pretend ‘it’ didn’t happen.
...and makes out White House spokesperson and others as liars.
There is a white house doctor. Got his name on Google. Can find no web presence on him, you’d think with all that is at stake, if he really thinks he is fine, they could trot his doctor out to answer questions. It would work faster than trying new appearances to convince people. Oh wait.... Never mind.
I was sick I was overtrained I wasn’t on my game I was jet-lagged I was tired I had an allergy I identified with a potted plant I was mourning Beau I was thinking about my uncle that the cannibals ate what was the question again?
RE:(did he watch the debate again) “I don’t think I did, no,” the President said.
Detectives pressing him in the interrogation room:
“Then take a look at these surveillance videos of you watching that debate rerun.”
Biden: “I want a lawyer.”
Time for space alien abduction and an implant in his neck as the excuse. Missing time.
beat me too it! nicely done
Joe has my complete support.
It sounds like this interview is rambling around different topics, and will not alleviate Democrat concerns about him.
Thanks.
Yeah—”I don’t think I did” is an evasion highly indicative of lying.
That means he did.
Yep..like inflation
.open borders and Afghanistan.
How many know that hunter bidet has been convicted on three counts of illegal gun possession and is now a convicted felon awaiting sentencing. Any yet, he is sitting in on national security briefings. They have managed to keep that one tamped down haven't they? I have not even seen it discussed on FR other than in passing.
Since he was so prepared for specifics, did Georgie ask him to name even one of the “28 lies” Trump told that Joe was counting?
