President Biden Calls Out Media for Ignoring Trump’s Lies During Debate
President Biden recently sat down for an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt, where he repeatedly pushed back on the media for supposedly ignoring former President Trump’s “lies” during the first presidential debate. The interview took a heated turn as Holt questioned Biden about his performance in the debate and whether he had watched it in its entirety.
Biden expressed frustration with the media’s focus on his own performance, rather than holding Trump accountable for the numerous lies he told during the debate. The president pointed out that Trump had lied 28 times during the debate, yet the press failed to adequately cover these falsehoods.
Throughout the interview, Biden challenged Holt and the media for not fact-checking Trump’s statements during the debate. He criticized the lack of coverage on Trump’s misinformation on various topics, including terrorism and taxes.
Despite the media’s fact-checking efforts, Biden remained defiant in his criticism of their coverage. He called on the press to prioritize reporting on Trump’s lies and challenged them to hold the former president accountable for his falsehoods.
As the debate fallout continues, Biden’s interview with Holt sheds light on the ongoing tension between the president and the media. The exchange highlights the importance of holding political leaders accountable for their statements and ensuring that the public is informed about the truth.
