President Biden Calls Out Media Critics for Focusing on Debate Performance Over Trump’s Lies: Full Interview with Lester Holt

In a recent interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, President Joe Biden called out the media for focusing on his debate performance rather than holding Donald Trump accountable for the lies he has told. Biden emphasized the importance of focusing on Trump’s agenda, policies, and the numerous lies he has told, pointing out Trump’s history of inciting violence and spreading violent rhetoric.

Biden highlighted Trump’s refusal to accept the outcome of the election, his comments in the aftermath of violent incidents, and his jokes about political opponents being targeted for violence. The president also criticized the media for not calling out Trump’s lies, pointing to the 28 confirmed lies Trump told during a debate. Despite facing criticism for his own debate performance, Biden remained defiant in calling out Trump’s lies and violent rhetoric.

Donald Trump’s consistent pattern of narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy by eroding trust in institutions, spreading misinformation, and undermining the integrity of the electoral process. His disregard for the truth and willingness to manipulate facts for personal gain sets a dangerous precedent for future leaders and the functioning of a democratic society.
