President Joe Biden is expressing frustration with how Americans choose to show their displeasure with his presidency.
During an interview with NBC News Lester Holt, the president was asked if he believed the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump would alter the race.
Biden said no one can know the answer to that but went on to vent about people criticizing him with profanity-laced signs.
“Look, I’ve never seen a circumstance where you ride through certain rural areas in the country and people have signs there standing, big Trump signs saying ‘F Biden,’ and a little kid standing there putting up his middle finger.”
He added, I mean, that’s the kind of stuff that is just inflammatory and a kind of viciousness. It’s a very different thing than to say, ‘Look, I really disagree with Trump — the way he takes care of taxes.”

During the same interview, Biden defended calling Trump a threat to democracy and saying it was “time” to put him in a “bullseye.”
Holt asked if he has “taken a step back and done a little soul searching on things that you may have said that could incite, people who are not balanced?”
“Well, I don’t think. 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 ’cause it may incite somebody?” he continued. ” Look, I, I’ve, I’ve not engaged in that rhetoric. Now, my, my, my opponent is against that rhetoric. He talks about a bloodbath if he loses, talking about how he’s kind of forgive of or actually, I guess, suspend the sentences of all those who were arrested and sentenced to go to jail because of what happened in the Capitol. I’m not out there making fun of like, I remember the picture of Donald Trump when Nancy Pelosi was hit with a hammer.. joking about it.”
