MSNBC host Joe Scarborough raged at NBC News’ Lester Holt Tuesday for questioning President Joe Biden about his “bullseye” remark.
Biden called on former President Donald Trump to be put in the “bullseye” during a phone call that occurred one week before the attempted assassination on the former president at a Saturday rally in Pennsylvania. The president told Holt that using the word “bullseye” was a “mistake,” but that it referred to focusing on him.
Scarborough criticized Holt for asking the question “without any context” during his one-on-one interview with the president.
“But to ask that question without any context abut the politically violent rhetoric that Republicans have been engaged in for close to a decade now,” Scarborough said. “We could talk about Nancy Pelosi, we could talk about the assassinations of chairmans, joint chiefs, the hangings of Mike Pence, we could go on and on and on. And we could talk about it on both sides. Again, it’s a good question to ask about what he said in a private fundraiser. A good question to ask, I would’ve asked the same question. But to ask that question absent of any context seems to me to be you talk about a phony…moral relativism. It was just screaming throughout that part of the interview. I must say, I was shocked.”
