President Biden has repeatedly scolded NBC anchor Lester Holt in an interview Monday — exclaiming at one point, “What’s with you guys? Come on, man!”
The 81-year-old president lashed out when Holt pressed him on his disastrous June 27 debate performance and bristled when the journalist asked him about former Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance.

“Are you seeing what [viewers] saw, which was moments of frankly, that appeared to be — you appeared to be confused?” Holt asked the president.
“Lester, look, why don’t you guys ever talk about the 18, the 28 lies (Trump) told? Where are you on this? Why didn’t the press ever talk about that? Twenty-eight times it’s confirmed he lied in that debate,” Biden exclaimed.
“Seriously, you won’t answer the question, but why didn’t the press talk about all the lies he told? I haven’t heard anything about that.”
When Holt protested, “We have reported many of the issues,” Biden snapped back.
“No you haven’t! No you haven’t! God love you,” fumed Biden — who falsely claimed at the debate that no troops died on his watch and confusingly said he “finally beat Medicare.”
At one point in the interview, Holt challenged the president when he launched into an extended criticism of Trump — despite using a rare Oval Office address Sunday night to call on Americans to “lower the temperature” following the Trump assassination attempt.
“This doesn’t sound like you’re turning down the heat though,” Holt said.
“Well, no, no, no, no,” the president replied, before launching into yet another diatribe against the Republican presidential nominee.
