Watching Biden's interview with Lester Holt.

He is doing a fine job.

He seems strong and he seems tough. I think he has been underestimated.

[BootinUp]

1. Agreed. nt

[MOMFUDSKI]

2. He jammed up Holt many times!

Said come back when you can talk about important issues

[Music Man]

3. He did great.

I love this version of Biden. And it's a tough, fine line to walk post-shooting. Biden knows what's really important. Whatever happens this November, he will do right by us.

[Nixie]

4. He turned most things around on Holt in a very effective way.

I liked Biden's closing...next time we'll talk about things we should have been talking about.

[Emile]

5. I think Lester sucked.

[madaboutharry]

8. I think so too!

I think Biden wanted to tell Lester to fuck off!

[FloridaBlues]

11. Biden getting tired of all the bs thrown his way. Good

[BlueCheeseAgain]

6. More and more of this.

More interviews, more news conferences, more town halls.

President Biden should be on TV as much as Law and Order reruns.

[CousinIT]

7. More both-sidesism from Lester Holt demanding what Biden will do to "tone it down"

Yet ALL OF THE MEDIA TOTALLY IGNORE the massive list of incidents of violence and incitements of violence carried out by Trump, his party in Congress and his followers in the past 6-8 years.

Holt snidely mentioned Biden’s comment about putting Trump’s failures and awful policies in focus ie: in the “bullseye”. that’s just a fucking CHEAP SHOT.

It’s cheap, lazy, bad journalism, malpractice, and it’s DANGEROUS. Here’s a small list of just some of the goddamned violent crap Trump, MAGA and their followers have done:

9. Too bad this is probably getting overshadowed

By the shooting and the RNC.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

10. President Biden did great in this interview

I heard that President Biden was stuttering. I had a stutter and did not see President Biden have any issues answering Holyt’s biased questions

13. Yes. Never underestimate Biden.

I did. I never will again.

[Joinfortmill]

14. Can't tell you how disappointed I am in Holt.

The media, as a whole, is so disrespectful. If they think this makes them look tough, they are mistaken. They look like bullies.

[LeftInTX]

15. So am I. What got into the media? They turned into a stampede...

[SocialDemocrat61]

20. It's pack mentality

They just follow each other. It’s like being at a party where everyone loves Taylor Swift. No one what’s to be the person who doesn’t love Swift.

[barbtries]

16. i don't think he's been underestimated.

it's a campaign to undermine him which the media and all too many Democrats are going along with. there's really no fucking excuse for the way TCFSF gets a ride when he's clearly demented and psychopathic. Biden may be one if not the best president of my lifetime and this absolute BULLSHIT he's being made to endure sickens me. there's a hell of a lot of bad faith associated with this insanity.

breathe. i need to breathe.

[Cha]

18. Yes it is, Barb.. But I think

many do underestimate also.

[barbtries]

21. i think many underestimate

the very real danger we are in. aargh

[Cha]

22. Yes That, too.

[Cha]

17. Mahalo, mad!

There's good news if we know how to find it!

[madaboutharry]

19. Mahalo to you!

[Cha]

23. Aloha💙
