WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden told NBC News in an interview airing 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 in a clip released by the network. He said he wanted the “focus” to be on “what he’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?”
