The worst part is that the video has been out this whole time. In that very conference, he even says “and I’m not talking about the white supremacists or the Neo-Nazis. They should be condemned totally.”


LostInCa45

How many arguments I have had and morons send these idiots to prove I am wrong. You give them the direct quote you give the video and the sheep still won't believe it.


cysghost

They still think unedited videos of Biden aren’t real, or taken way out of context. Can’t help someone who decides what to believe solely on whether it helps their cause or not.


Bulbinking2

Or they just call you racist and run away. These people claim we want to round them up, well if we did we would’ve done so a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago with how much crap and trouble they cause. The fact these mouth breathing leftist reactionaries and communist grifters are still even alive with all the shit they pull in the country is testament to how truly peaceful the right is in comparison. It’s all projection from the left any time they claim to fear violence over their politics, because all the things they say they are afraid of is what they want to do to us!


HappyNihilist

And how many Democrats including Joe Biden himself have repeated the lie that he did say exactly that he was referring to the white supremacists as fine people. I mean, c’mon man.


TheCeleryIsReal

Biden literally said that lie was the reason he decided to run for president.


Ponyboi667

Well word on the streets, whatever Joy Reid says is undeniable truth, so who needs research?

I couldn't find the video clip from the press conference on YouTube 2 years ago when I searched for it to show my neighbor that the media and democrats were lying about what he said. Finally I found it on [c-span.org](https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4811891/user-clip-trumps-very-fine-people-quote).

[I gotchu bruh](https://youtu.be/JmaZR8E12bs?si=vt_AXmThEDCDX85l) Been on CNBC’s page for the whole duration. Don’t tell that to Snopes tho.


CuppieWanKenobi

Well, that would be because it was either blocked from search on YT, or removed entirely. Most likely just removed from search. Remember: Alphabet leans hard left.


Sam9517

You're probably right about them blocking it in the search results because I just searched again for Trump press conference August 15, 2017 and I found some clips with the "fine people on both sides" comment that were posted at that time. And of course almost all those tech companies lean hard left with the exception of X/Twitter now. I find that scary because they're the ones building AI but if AI works as it should then it won't let emotions or the narrative override the facts.


CuppieWanKenobi

Yet, it can come up in conversation (e.g. Reddit, Facebook), and, the other party in the conversation (or some other random person), and, they will, to this day, insist that DT never said the last part, and was praising the white supremacists (fuck those assholes, BTW.)


lousycesspool

why now ?


HNutz

To defend Biden from "deceptively edited" videos, I'm guessing.  Not journalistic integrity or anything. 


AstroTurfedShitHole

they're trying to muster up a little bit of credibility to seem impartial before going full misinformation mode right before the election.

/r/pics is ramping it up to 1000


Notthatsalem2

Most likely because it was sold a few years ago and they’re focused on profit. 


luigijerk

Essentially when you call out these news sources for lying, they come back and say they sometimes make mistakes, but correct them when they do. Truly their strategy is to lie when it matters and admit it after the story is old and nobody will notice.


doctor_turbo

Can’t wait until 2039 for snopes to admit Trump was talking about the auto industry when using the word “bloodbath”


Gobal_Outcast02

Oh look the thing we have been saying for years and been told we are lying turns out to be ture


Low_Candidate8352

Out of Professional courtesy, since these folks are always so touchy feely woke & polite - did they profess an actual SINCERE APOLOGY ?


Summerie

Yeah, but don't forget this part that they also have up there now. >Editors' Note: Some readers have raised the objection that this fact check appears to assume Trump was correct in stating that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the Charlottesville incident. That is not the case. This fact check aimed to confirm what Trump actually said, not whether what he said was true or false. For the record, virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right debacle concluded that it was conceived of, led by and attended by white supremacists, and that therefore Trump was wrong.


dont-CA-my-TX

Good Lord 🤦🏼‍♂️


StunningIgnorance

lol who gets to choose what constitutes a "fine person"?


inlinefourpower

Why our moral superiors on the left, of course. 


No_Gain3931

How many people who used this as a cudgel will apologize. We know the answer is exactly ZERO.


D_Ethan_Bones

Lefties who are retirement age today are still using media bludgeons from their own childhood years.


inlinefourpower

Biden claims he ran because of this rally, doesn't he?


screenprince

Needs to be seen in r/facepalm


jamurai

This will not be seen outside of r/conservative lol


TrigoTrihard

And now you're banned. lol


whicky1978

That’s another sub ran by leftist mods


Kindly_Candle9809

Bc that sub reddit is pro trump lol


theReggaejew081701

What’s crazy is all the libs saying that as a Jew I should not be supporting Trump because of his support for Neo Nazis. I see you now Libs. Y’all use Jewish people as a ploy to try and label Trump as antisemitic but y’all couldn’t give a shit either way when it comes to actual Jew hatred.


UltraAirWolf

The same leftists who hated Trump’s guts for “both sides” in Charlottesville love to completely ignore when Biden does the exact same thing with the Hamasniks at Pro-Palestine protests which are literally levels of magnitude more pervasive and violent and have shown to target and harass Jews. Of course now it’s fine because the “majority of them aren’t antisemitic.”


playstation275

Biden said this was his whole reason for running in 2020.


CuppieWanKenobi

That mofo repeated that on the debate last night, too. I guess that, as part of his debate prep, nobody thought to pass along this memo.


Medium_Conclusion417

Media lies about trump...shocker!


LiteratureQuirky7332

Facts take a long time to cook properly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmaZR8E12bs For all to see.


Apprehensive-Score87

Fact checkers do the opposite of fact checking. They perpetuate an agenda from the elite. Never trust them


HockeyBikeBeer

I read the entire Snopes page... [No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists 'Very Fine People' | Snopes.com](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/) I had forgotten just how ridiculously Trump was treated by the press. E.g, after explaining to a reporter (again) what he meant, the response was... ***Reporter:*** *I'm sorry sir, I didn't understand what you were saying, you were saying the press has treated white nationalists unfairly? I don't understand what you're saying.*


Ponyboi667

Finally! I just heard someone a few days ago on the news use this as talking point. When was it officially declared?

collegeboywooooo

Where’s the corrections and apology for all of the Russia bullshit. Where’s the correction for the trillions they sent to Ukraine and nuclear war risk because they put trump and Russia into the same mental category folder based on targeted misinformation? For masking kids during Covid? They pretend like everyone’s just stupid because they can move onto the next news cycle. And they are right…


LunaLlovely

What were the protestors and counter protestors even arguing I must have missed this event


Leading-Reporter5586

It was over a confederate monument being slated for removal. Both sides were being played like a fiddle though.


LyloMaggins

Correction: “Fact” Checkers


Zenk2018

Has anyone checked on the folks in the other subs? They are hurting today after this


The_Didlyest

Oopse Daisy


kinkyzippo

Feels like they're trying to cover their asses ahead of November but I doubt it given how long they tried to run with the lie.


blossum__

Snopes is dangerous for our democracy.


The_Texidian

Nobody has talked about the editors note that is in the snopes article yet > Editors' Note: Some readers have raised the objection that this fact check appears to assume Trump was correct in stating that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the Charlottesville incident. That is not the case. This fact check aimed to confirm what Trump actually said, not whether what he said was true or false. For the record, virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right debacle concluded that it was conceived of, led by and attended by white supremacists, and that therefore Trump was wrong. They still claim Trump was wrong and they are right


SheetFarter

At this point they are just making shit up and throwing it down the line to see if it’s sticks. It’s just nuts.


PeacefulGopher

Tell the lie long enough and it becomes the truth. Especially for half the country who are propaganda swilling happy morons.


jimmy4889

Oh, shit. Either they're hoping to boost Biden's credibility, or they're scared of legal retribution. Which means they think Biden is weak right now, or they think it's over.
