160. Aug. 15, 2017 This is another belated add. On Aug. 15, 2017, at a news conference, President Trump gave an initial response to protests in Charlottesville, Va. The media falsely reported that Trump referred to Nazis and white supremacists as “very fine people.”
In fact, Trump explicitly, repeatedly condemned any white supremacists. He stated, for example, “we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.”
Trump also stated, “I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee.” And Trump added, “you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.
Trump was condemning Nazis and white supremacists, and made the explicit distinction that not everyone who was protesting fell into that category.
159. April 3, 2020 This is a belated add because it was an oversight when it originally happened. Multiple media outlets claimed President Trump told people to “drink” or “inject” bleach.
Trump never said this. The fabrications were spread after Trump alluded to research and studies on bleach-like disinfectant to treat Covid.
Indeed, in December of 2021, one such study compared two bleach-like disinfectants and concluded that “Chlorine dioxide is a more potent antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 than sodium hypochlorite.”

Mistakes? No, they are lies, told deliberately and with intent.
“Mistakes” is a cute euphemism, bless their little hearts.
Btt
They really did a job on him. There were so many and so frequent that people just got overwhelmed and don’t remember the corrections
The top of the list is that the media was so bent on getting Trump and supporting the deep state that they utterly failed in their job to hold the powers that be to account. They proved themselves to be bloody worthless anti-American propagandists, all of them.
The original protest dealt with stopping mobs from taking down statues without due proces. In short the protest was against mob rule.
Excellent article.
Interesting how it seems it’s a small group of people and organizations that repeatedly did this. Yet, even though they have been shown to be absolute, repeated liars, they are still held in high esteem by the left.
And they are still funded by too many on the right with our TV subscriptions. Too many think that sitting on their tails and being entertained by them is more important that their outright lies against us and Trump.
