Exclusive: President Biden sits down with Lester Holt for his first interview since the assassination attempt on former President Trump. Biden discusses the polarization of America, the need to tone down inflammatory rhetoric, and his determination to stay in the race.

@LesterHoltNBC Lester and Nightly News, I’m a longtime viewer. I’ve never written to you. Tonight I couldn’t be more disappointed in Lester and the producers behind the Biden interview. I want to hear about how the shooter was connected to maga & its extremely unhealthy platform of guns 1/

@LesterHoltNBC Disappointed in Holt for this weak interview on questions already asked and answered.

@LesterHoltNBC Lester, when did you become a coward? Are you that afraid of #TraitorTrump?

@TODAYshow @LesterHoltNBC Lester’s false equivalency is beyond the pale. It was shameful. But I guess it’s more important to create controversy than it is to be ethical. Controversy sells.

@LesterHoltNBC

@LesterHoltNBC Total inappropriate and unprofessional interview

@LesterHoltNBC BIDEN DOESN’T USE INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC!!! JFC — you people are trying to hand the election to Trump. Trump wants to dismantle the media. You’ll be the first ones in the crosshairs if he wins. OH NO! I said “crosshairs.” 🖕😐🖕

@LesterHoltNBC This is ridiculous. When have you ever challenged Trump on HIS inflammatory language, threats and literal incitements to violence?

@LesterHoltNBC I hope to see you grill Trump like you did Biden. I don’t understand why you can’t treat both men equally in interviews. Let us know when Trump agrees to an interview that won’t turn hostile.

@LesterHoltNBC So disappointed in how you attacked Biden
