President Joe Biden pointed to former President Donald Trump’s “rhetoric” after a recent assassination attempt while admitting that his “bullseye” comment was a “mistake” in an exclusive interview with NBC News Monday.
Within a first clip released of Biden’s interview on “NBC Nightly News,” the president was pressed on his language around Trump and if it could inspire others to take action following an assassination attempt against the former president Saturday. NBC News host Lester Holt asked Biden about his comment to his National Finance Committee in which he stated it was time “to put Trump in the bullseye.”
“I didn’t say crosshairs. I’m talking about focus on. Look, the truth of the matter was when I guess I was talking about it at the time, was, there was very little focus on Trump’s agenda,” Biden said.
Holt then jumped in to reiterate to the president that he used the term “bullseye” while discussing his campaign strategy against Trump.
“It was a mistake to use the word. I didn’t say crosshairs, I meant bullseye.
