President Joe Biden says it was a 'mistake' to say he wanted to put a 'bull's-eye' on Donald Trump

President Joe Biden told NBC News in an interview Monday that it was a “mistake” to say he wanted to put a “bull’s-eye” on Republican nominee Donald Trump, but argued that the rhetoric coming from his opponent was more incendiary. “It was a mistake to use the word,” Biden told NBC anchor Lester Holt. He said he wanted the “focus” to be on what Trump’s saying. Biden continued: “How do you talk about the threat to democracy which is real, when a president says things like he says? Do you just not say anything because it may incite somebody?”
