Washington CNN —President Joe Biden on Friday downplayed his poor performance in last week’s debate, offering additional excuses for the showing and adding that it was his fault alone.
The president said in an interview on ABC that he was “sick” and “feeling terrible” before the debate.
Asked whether it was a bad episode or a sign of a more serious condition, Biden dismissed those concerns.
The fact of the matter is that – what I looked at is he also lied 28 times,” he said.
Pressed on his performance, he said, “Well I was just having a bad night.”This is a breaking story and will be updated.
