Former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden denied the existence of organized Antifa groups during the first presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio on Tuesday.
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace had asked President Trump if he was willing "to condemn white supremacists and militia groups, and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities, as we saw in Kenosha and as weve seen in Portland?"
"Sure, I'm willing to do that. I would say almost everything I see is from the left-wing, not from the right-wing," Trump replied, telling the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by."
"But I tell you what, somebody has got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem, this is a left-wing problem," Trump added.
"Antifa is an idea, not an organization, that's what his FBI director said," Biden replied.
"Antifa is a dangerous, radical group...they'll overthrow you," Trump said to Biden.
FBI Director Christopher Wray did say his agency is investigating those who identify as Antifa while committing serious crimes.
"Antifa is a real thing. It's not a group or an organization. It's a movement, or an ideology may be one way of thinking of it and we have quite a number, and I've said this quite consistently since my first time appearing before this committee, we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists and some of those individuals self-identify with Antifa," Wray said.
"People are pouring through all of the video trying to identify people to hold people accountable," Attorney General Bill Barr said during an interview with Townhall. "I think Antifa and Antifa like groups are at the center of it."
BIDEN: “Imagine there’s no Antifa, its easy if you try...”
There were a lot of moments where Biden bombed on the answers.
The Antifa thing.
Not having an answer to the support from law enforcement question.
Waffling on the Green New Deal. He first says he doesn't support it, but that it will pay for itself.
Calling President Trump a clown and telling him to shut up.
Trump had to debate two people. Trump clearly wins in my book.
Imagine all the people. Lying for Joe biden...
Unfortunately, who is going to tell the American people about his bombs? Most people are uninformed and don’t know when he was spinning yarns and telling tall tales. The press won’t do it.
okay, outright deliberate lie right there
in any debate trump has to debate the libtard politican and the libtard media controller
The “Green New Deal” was a classic Biden flip-flop in a couple of sentences!
Biden first talked about what the Green New Deal will do. Then Wallace asked You support the Green New Deal? Biden then immediately says No. It was unbelievable and mind-boggling. But it’s like so many other Biden flip-flops like fracking. He seems unperturbed by the fact that there are videos of his dual positions on things.
I expected Townhall to know the difference between pouring and poring.
I am hoping that people watching the debates will figure it out and give Trump Amo as he moves forward.
And then he disavowed it a second time.
Ideas usually dont have logos
When Biden said The Green New Deal will “pay for itself”, he’s admitting that The Green New Deal will be implemented under a Democrat president.
RE: okay, outright deliberate lie there
Or Joe might just be clueless.
Ideas dont burn down cities.
To deny the existence of anQUEEFa is so reminiscent of how the Gambino’s, Columbo’s, Luciano’s, Gotti’s etc denied the existence of the mafia.
bttt
Bet Bernie's voters are not happy about that, since democrats screwed him out of the nomination again.
LOL!
After tonight, I actually know more about Chris Wallace’s positions on the issues than I do Joe Binden’s!
And that’s no criticism of Wallace. It was clearly his goal to save Biden from committing to anything at all, and he did a great job at that.
