Seven Years Later, Snopes Says Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis ‘Very Fine People’
Breitbart ^ | 06/23/2024 | Joel B Pollack

Snopes.com, perhaps the most well-known fact-checking website, has finally confirmed — seven years later — that President Donald Trump did not refer to neo-Nazis in Charlottesville in August 2017 as “very fine people.”

The false claim was central to President Joe Biden’s election in 2020. He used it to launch his campaign in April 2019, claiming he had been inspired to run against President Trump because the latter called neo-Nazis “very fine people.”

Did Snopes get new management or maybe a lawsuit?

It’s not the facts that matter, it is the seriousness of tHe accusations that count.

Just like with covid, medical journals and staff all lied about covid and things like ivermectin, and only years later, after all the damage that those lies caused, did they come out and retract what they had said- they inte tionally bore false witness agout covid and meds- intentionally bearing false witness in ever to destroy someone or something - God takes a very dim view of that.

The same mindset that subs out their fact-checking to Snopes also finds The Onion to be unbiased, soy to be healthy, and Bruce Springsteen to be good.

Look for Biden to sell the MSM false narrative.

At his peril, he will call Trump a racist, a white supremacist maybe even referencing the Charlottesville thing.

He’ll say Trump slap with a porn star.

He’ll mention 34 felonies over and over again, until Trump will drop all formalities and go after Biden.

The degree Trump counter punches is analogous to how bad Biden goes after him.

For example:

1. Biden claims Trump cheated on his taxes and was fined half a billion dollars for bank fraud.

Trump will blast his family for stealing millions of dollars while in office.

2. Trump is a racist.

Trump will blast him for his positions that went against black people, and the Democratic Party being the party of Jim Crow and slavery.

3. Biden will bring up sex with a prostitute.

Trump may very well bring up the Biden hair sniffing and showering with the daughter, and maybe go after Hunter also.

4. 34 felonies.

After saying he expects it to be over turned, he’ll bring up Biden’s stealing documents as a VP, taking money from foreign governments, etc.

I PERSONALLY DON’T SEE HOW BIDEN CAN POSSIBLY PREPARE FOR THIS, AND IN FACT I PREDICT THAT HE WILL NO SHOW.

The filthy illegimates on the left record and scrutinize every word spoken by their enemies. When they find something they can use against him, they broadcast it and the media all join in the chorus.

Doesn’t matter if it’s true. By repeating only what they want you to hear they “create” history, and they all recite it over and over again until most of the public believes it’s true.

G Bush and Katrina.
Trump and “fine people.”
Quayle and “potatoe”
etc.

Why now? Why just before the upcoming debate? Is Snopes now, along with other Dems, trying to dump Biden? I actually hope that Biden doesn’t bomb in this first debate. I don’t want the Dems to dump him.

Everyone at Snopes needs a lesson in lawfare that lasts the rest of the lives, most of which should be spent behind bars.

Snopes = "Election interference" & "libel"

I hope DJT later sues both snopes & biden (slander), but I can't help but wonder if there's a '7-year statute of limitations' which applies here...

Just yesterday, Biden said that Trump calls illegal aliens “animals.”

No, I think Snopes is on the side of neo-nazis now.
