Biden Rejects Toning Down Divisive Rhetoric Despite Calls for Unity

In a recent interview with NBC News' Lester Holt, President Joe Biden was pressed on his divisive political rhetoric following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Despite calling for toning down the political rhetoric after the traumatic event, Biden made it clear that he believes the only one who needs to tone down the rhetoric is Trump, whom he labeled a "threat to democracy."

Biden's interview with Holt was his second since his disastrous debate performance and his first since the failed assassination attempt against Trump. The interview lasted for 20 minutes, during which Biden referenced the January 6 Capitol riot and once again trotted out the Charlottesville lie, which has been debunked by even leftist fact-checkers.

Holt asked Biden for his reaction to the attempted assassination of Trump, to which Biden responded by saying that "there's no place at all for violence in politics in America." However, he then went on to reference the January 6 Capitol riot and the Charlottesville lie, which he has repeatedly used to smear Trump as a dangerous racist.


Holt pressed Biden on his recent rhetoric, noting that he had called Trump an "existential threat" and had said that it was time to put Trump in the "bullseye." Biden pushed back, stating that he had not said "crosshairs" and that he had meant "bullseye" as in "focus on." However, Holt again noted that Biden had used the term "bullseye."

Biden became frustrated with Holt's questioning and argued that it was Trump who was a threat to democracy, not him. He accused Trump of using the term "bloodbath if he loses" and of joking about Nancy Pelosi's husband being attacked with a hammer.

Holt responded by saying that it did not sound like Biden was turning down the heat. Indeed, as the interview went on, it became clear that Biden rejected the notion that he needed to tone down any of his divisive political rhetoric. He also chided Holt and the mainstream media for failing to call out Trump's lies from the debate.

The fact of the matter is that it is not name-calling or mean words that are so dangerous; rather, it is the repeated assertion that Trump represents an existential threat to America. It is false ideas like this that can marinate in the mind of some unstable person, and the result is what the nation saw last Saturday.

Biden claimed that he wanted to unite the nation when he took office, but the exact opposite has resulted under his watch. He chose to play identity politics, preaching the divisive message of "us versus them" to further a radical leftist agenda. And now, when the result of that division is rearing its ugly head, Biden simply turns and plays the blame game.

It is time for Biden to take responsibility for his divisive rhetoric and to work towards uniting the nation, rather than further dividing it. The American people deserve better than this.
