President Joe Biden desecrated a celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, on Friday by repeating a proven lie known as the “fine people hoax,” falsely accusing his predecessor, Donald Trump, of praising neo-Nazis in Charlottesville in August 2017. In fact, as Breitbart News and others have demonstrated repeatedly, Trump said the neo-Nazis should be “condemned totally.” Biden made his remarks in front of a Jewish audience at what was billed as the first-ever White House gathering for Rosh Hashanah.

Photos published on Facebook show top executives of Tribune Co. — led by CEO Randy Michaels — at a gambling, drinking and smoking party in the palatial Tribune Tower office once occupied by the company’s patriarch, Col. Robert R. McCormick. “We are in the office of the guy who ran the company from the 1920s to 1955 — it’s normally a shrine,” wrote John D. Phillips, the Tribune Tower building manager who posted the photos. “We pretty much desecrated it with gambling, booze and cigars. Good thing we know the guy who runs the building!”
