President Joe Biden said he should not have used the language, “put Trump in the bulls-eye,” a remark he made to donors in a private call days before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally.
“It was a mistake to use the word,” Biden said, according to excerpts of a Monday interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt. “I meant focus on him. Focus on what he’s doing, focus on his policies, focus on the number of lies he told in the debate.”
“How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real, when a president says things like he says?” Biden asked rhetorically. “Do you just not say anything, because it may incite somebody?”
