Former president Barack Obama visited Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday to campaign for Biden, News 9 reported. The Democrat chastised Trump for complaining about a recent “60 Minutes” interview with Lesley Stahl.

“Our current president, he whines that ‘60 Minutes’ is too tough,” Obama said, according to the local outlet. “You think he’s going to stand up to dictators? He thinks Lesley Stahl’s a bully. Just yesterday, he said (Vladimir) Putin of Russia, Xi (Jingping) of China, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea want him to win.”
