In a recent interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Joe Biden found himself facing tougher questions than he anticipated. Holt dared to ask probing questions that seemed to ruffle Biden’s feathers, leading to some defensive and snippy responses from the Commander-in-Chief.
When questioned about his use of the term “bullseye,” Biden tried to play it off as a harmless phrase implying focus on Trump’s agenda. But Holt wasn’t buying it, suggesting that such language could potentially incite violence. Biden, in turn, deflected by pointing fingers at Trump and the current political climate, conveniently overlooking his own rhetoric.

Attempting to draw a false equivalency, Biden insinuated that Trump’s actions and language somehow justify his own questionable statements. This kind of blame game is nothing new in the world of politics, where both sides are quick to point fingers rather than take responsibility for their own words and actions.
As the interview delved into discussions about political violence and unity, Biden continued to shift blame onto Trump, echoing familiar Democratic talking points. The narrative of blaming Trump for all the political turmoil in the country is a tired tactic that does little to address the underlying issues at hand.
In the end, the interview with Holt showcased the typical political posturing and finger-pointing that has come to define modern American politics. Calls for unity and civility may sound good on the surface, but until politicians are willing to engage in genuine dialogue and find common ground, the cycle of blame and division is likely to continue unabated.
