. “I meant focus on him. Focus on what he’s doing, focus on his policies, focus on the number of ***** he told in the debate.”

“How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real, when a president says things like he says? Biden asked rhetorically. “Do you just not say anything, because it may incite somebody?”

“Look, I have not engaged in that rhetoric,” Biden said. “Now, my my opponent has engaged in that rhetoric. He talks about being a bloodbath if he loses.”

On Saturday, several shots were fired at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, ******** one attendee in the crowd and critically injuring two others. A bullet grazed the former president’s ear before Secret Service covered him and rushed him off stage. The alleged gunman, 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was ******* several moments after shots were fired.

Questions and *********** theories soon poured out across social media as the public processed the horrific events of Saturday evening.

Several *********** lawmakers blamed Democratic campaign rhetoric for inciting the *********, including Biden’s ill-timed “bullseye” comment.

The Monday interview comes as Biden works to rehabilitate his political image following his disastrous debate performance against Trump in June.
