It seems like it misses the point of the OP.

At first I thought you meant Holt, but now I think you mean Biden. Are you referring to Biden?

... with shite like, "the greatest nation on earth", and "America is envy of the world".

Reminds me of some famous quotes.

"Repeat the propaganda enough ..."

"The bigger the lie ..."

It feels so good to hear it over and over and over and over and over... everywhere and all the time.

Where was the soul searching when Jim Adkisson cited his hatred of liberals and Democrats when he shot up that UU church?

Unless he meant that Joe needs to help him find his own soul. Joe's soul ain't the one that's lost here. Go fuck yourself, Lester. And, here I thought you were one of the better ones...

Fuck Lester Holt asking the President if he had "said anything lately that could motivate someone to commit violence against The Felon" question. Just fucking fuck that ladder climbing disgraceful piece of shit. He should be on the floor in Milwaukee mixing in with the swill just like him.

That was a grocery store tabloid question from a supposed professional journalist. The question just opens the door to more "see President Biden does it" BS.

I hope he’s not trying to insinuate that Biden is the reason for heated rhetoric.

Perhaps he might consider doing a little soul searching himself. After all, he is so bad at reading the room that he helped try to recruit Rona McDaniel.

Is the media really running with this slander? That something Biden might have said incited this incident? What kind of sick twisted world are we living in when the media can't even admit that Trump is the violent one, that the things he and his surrogates have said are beyond the pale?

I cannot believe this bullshit.

I’m used to watch the evening news on NBC and he is definitely in the bag for the convicted felon. All of his opinions are from a right wing point of view.

Nightly News on a daily basis. But then I started noticing a lot of the broadcasts either leading with or featuring a Trump story, so a couple of weeks ago I started trying alternatives.

Then on the day of the.. shooting... I happened to have him on when I heard Holt, who was interviewing a GOP congressman (Kelly, I think it was) suggest both sides were responsible for the violent rhetoric.

That was the last I saw of him.
