Remember how the media has droned on and on, seemingly endlessly, about how Trump allegedly referred to neo-Nazis as “very fine people?”
Well, as it turns out, none other than Snopes, which tends to lean hard left, has come out and admitted that Trump, in fact, never issued such a statement.
As reported by The Blaze, Snopes finally admitted that Trump’s remarks had been taken completely out of context.
“It only took nearly seven years, but left-leaning fact-checking website Snopes finally admitted that former President Donald Trump never called neo-Nazis or white supremacists in Charlottesville ‘very fine people.’ The falsehood has regularly been spread by President Joe Biden,” Snopes admitted.
Well, Biden is the leader of disinformation, that’s for sure.
Heck, he says that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows.
The full remarks of what Trump really said are as follows:
“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down, of to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name,” Trump said.
So, in other words, Trump noted that the neo-Nazi presence was clearly negative, in contrast to “very fine people.”
“No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists ‘Very Fine People,’” Snopes admitted.
About time, Snopes.
“In a news conference after the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say there were ‘very fine people on both sides,’ referring to the protesters and the counter-protesters. He said in the same statement he wasn’t talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be ‘condemned totally,’” Snopes continued.
So, in other words, the media totally and completely lied about what Trump said, again.
Much in the same way that witnesses against Trump lied in the courtroom.
After being flooded with outraged remarks from individuals with permanent TDS, Snopes posted a quick update to placate its user base.
“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,” Snopes hastily declared.
Yeah, sure. Nice try, but no cigar, as the media clearly lied for years, period.
Now, when will the media issue a mea culpa?
