President Joe Biden repeatedly pushed back at NBC’s Lester Holt in an interview, bristling when taking yet another round of questions about his debate disaster.
Their sometimes caustic exchange including Holt relaying concerns by congressional Democrats who said of his performance: ‘frankly … you appeared to be confused.’
‘Why don’t you guys ever talk about the 18 – 28 lies he told? Twenty-eight times it’s confirmed he lied in that debate,’ Biden told Holt.
‘I had a bad bad night. I wasn’t feeling well at all. I screwed up.’
It was one of several times he took on his interviewer, in a sit-down arranged by his team before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Holt pressed him on his unusual admission at a press conference that he hadn’t seen the debate that caused a flood of Democratic defection. He said he had seen pieces of his performance.
‘I didn’t have to see it – I was there,’ he said, challenging Holt again.
