The left-leaning fact-checking website Snopes acknowledged Saturday that former President Trump never called neo-Nazis "very fine people" during his press conference following the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally in 2017.

Critics of Trump have claimed for years that he equated neo-Nazis with counterprotesters following the event. President Biden was chief among those critics, citing the supposed incident as a main reason for launching his 2020 campaign.

"While Trump did say that there were ‘very fine people on both sides,’ he also specifically noted that he was not talking about neo-Nazis and White supremacists and said they should be 'condemned totally.' Therefore, we have rated this claim 'False,'" Snopes wrote.

The Snopes fact check now aligns with years of arguments from Trump's camp, who long stated, backed by transcript and video, that his comments were taken out of context. The fact-checker notes that the false claim about Trump's comments "spread like wildfire" on the left, eventually being cited as a cornerstone of Biden's election campaign.

TDS is a real thing, unfortunately, but the men behind the curtain hate people that employ critical thinking.

Wait just a second, if Snopes said it's not true it might just be true! Just kidding, they prolly got a letter threatening legal action.

Snopes Finally Admits Trump Never Called Neo-Nazis 'Very Fine People'

One of the more common lies peddled by top Democrats, including of course President Joe Biden, is that former President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis 'very fine people' during his press conference following the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally in 2017.

Except, anyone who watched the full clip knows it's bull****, which is why anyone peddling the hoax has been operating in bad faith.

Remember Charlottesville when Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people?

I only saw the full clip for the first time today

Now, after seven years, and days before the Trump-Biden debate in Atlanta, Snopes has finally admitted that Trump never called neo-Nazis 'very fine people.'

"While Trump did say that there were ‘very fine people on both sides,’ he also specifically noted that he was not talking about neo-Nazis and White supremacists and said they should be 'condemned totally.' Therefore, we have rated this claim 'False," wrote Snopes.

Of note, Biden launched his his 2020 campaign based on this lie.

"The president of the United States assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it," Biden claimed in his campaign announcement video. "And in that moment, I knew the threat to this nation was unlike any I’d ever seen in my lifetime."

Amazing...

Just like any number of quotes attributed to him...never happened.

When it comes to politics, the truth is irrelevant, but misrepresentation of the truth is essential as a propaganda technique.
It is the foundation for the BIG LIE theory.

ive many times been given crap by my lefty brethren when i say that trumps words are not always what he means to say and often comes our wrong... kind of like his comment to the proud boys. when asked to denounce them and he said they should stand by... we all knew he meant stand down... but that isn't what he said... and in his first election many of his supporters claimed they like him be cause he speaks his mind and says what he means instead of legal or weasel talk... so if he says what he means, but he didn't mean that, what did he say? or mean?

all that to say, he screws himself because of the way he talks...

I don’t like the way Trump presents himself and I don’t like the way and speaks and I don’t like a lot of the things he says.
I do like his actions on Border Policy, his Trade Policies with China, his handling of conflicts in the Middle East, his Defense spending, his handling of NATO, his views on how to handle the economy though he takes too much personal credit for things that go right in the economy. I like his attitude of personal liberty and America first.

I think Biden is the bigger douche bag between the two but that has no bearing on my vote.

The biggest problem hasn’t been misspoken words, it’s the corporate media laundering lies of half truths of little to no context. Like this very example.

Then there is when he says something everyone knows is a joke, and we get the CM clutching their pearls and stating the most fearful comparisons they think their fellow comrades will willingly accept.

I think what you said though is pretty close to what Bill Maher tried explaining to the window licking vapid old broads on the View.

The Left-Wing Media twists everything around, both words and history if it serves their agenda.
They'll say their historical boogeymen, the Confederacy and Robert E. Lee were like Nazi white supremacists (and they have said as much) so if Trump defends that historical monument from the Jacobin mob, they'll say he's defending Neo-Nazism. The fact that there were also Neo-Nazis there protesting gave them extra ammo to associate Trump with Neo-Nazis.

As another example, watch here how Tucker Carlson handled one gaslighting dip chit:
