4. Yep. I agree with Joe. This is not a both sides issue. Only 1 candidate has advocated for violence

I generally regard Holt as a good journalist. Not last night.
During the interview, I posted here - when are we going to have trump do a non Fox interview to ask him about his rhetoric?

What really irks me is that - we still don't know that this was politically motivated.
What we know so far is the shooter was a registered republican
He donated to a democratic PAC when he was not even old enough to vote
He was known to be a loner who was bullied in high school
He was known to be conservative, according to classmates
Neighbors have said there were trump signs in the yard previously
I read somewhere about family conflicts (Can't remember where I read it and I don't see that was widely reported)


I don't think President Biden should do any more of these interviews. Not unless they are about his policies and what he plans to do in his second term. These "interviews" just seem to be set up for " Gotcha" moments. We get it. He is older, he speaks softer, he has a life long stutter, he trips on his words at times. None of that has anything to do with his cognitive abilities. His naysayers are not going to be convinced by anything he says in these interviews.
