Watch: Breitbart News Confronts Joe Biden About Misquoting Trump on Charlottesville (FLASHBACK AUG 8, 2019)
Breitbart ^ | 8/8/2019 | joel pollak

Posted on 08/12/2020 3:19:20 PM PDT by bitt

Former vice president Joe Biden told Breitbart News on Thursday that President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people,” and insisted that Trump did not condemn them — despite the fact that the video and transcript of Trump’s remarks prove him wrong.

The claim, known to conservative critics as the “Charlottesville hoax” or the “very fine people” hoax, is a core part of Biden’s stump speech, and a staple for many other Democratic presidential contenders as well. It is a key piece of “evidence” cited to support the claim that Trump is a racist who is inciting mass shootings.

Biden began his remarks at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair by repeating the claim that Trump had called neo-Nazis “very fine people”: “Charlottesville — that hate and that venom that we saw, and then the president saying, when asked about the groups … as well as the young woman, when she was killed, he said there were very fine people in both groups. Very fine people. No president, sitting president has ever said something like that. And the only thing that’s happened is it’s gotten worse.”

However, Biden is wrong.

Trump specifically said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

Donald Trump correctly stated that some people just wanted to preserve statues and weren’t White Supremacists and that it wouldn’t stop with the confederacy, that some day soon they would come for statues of washington and Jefferson and Trump was right

MEANWHILE Lefist Democrats insist that there are good antisemites among the Fascists at AF and BLM burning down businesses and shaking down protection money.

“Good people” right fookin Leftists???

They have to keep to topics Joe is familiar with in case he goes rouge. He forgets what he is not allowed to say.

Joe Biden has no problem telling a lie if it scores him some political points.

Just like Nancy Pelosi and the Lying Kenyan. And the Liberal Main Stream Media.

[And animated by the father of lies.]

That is 100% percent correct. It's rather shocking to behold.

That's why I say, Many of today's Democrats are spirit of antichrist in action. They'll eventually try to beat down the doors. Just like their ancestors did.

Joe Biden also repeats the lie about Trump’s “Muslim ban.” Trump banned entry from 7 countries, not all of them mostly Muslim, because of chaotic conditions making it difficult to tell if the would-be immigrants were terrorists. The list did not include most of the countries with large numbers of Muslims such as Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, India or Bangladesh. (India is predominantly Hindu but has upwards of 150 million Muslims.)

Good job, Breitbart! Post #2 has the transcript. It was Trump absolutely destroying a reporter.
