A defiant President Joe Biden again admitted to having a “bad, bad night” while debating Donald Trump last month but grilled NBC News anchor Lester Holt on why he focuses on that instead of his Republican rival’s documented lies.

“Why don’t you guys ever talk about the 28 lies he told? Where are you on this?” Biden said, leaning forward in his chair in the televised interview Monday. “Why in the press haven’t you talked about that? 28 times it’s confirmed he lied that debate,” Biden continued. “I had a bad, bad night. I wasn’t feeling well at all … I screwed up.”
