NBC’s Lester Holt sat down with President Joe Biden for a much-hyped interview that would kick off Biden’s counterprogramming of the Republican National Convention, which kicked off tonight. Despite President Biden’s calls to lower the temperature in the wake of the failed attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump, his rhetoric remains pretty much the same and met little pushback from Holt.
The interview begins with a question about the assassination attempt. Biden immediately cited the thoroughly debunked “Fine People Hoax” as part of the divisive rhetoric, with zero pushback from Holt.
