The lie that launched Biden’s presidency…
During President Biden’s remarks on night one of the Democratic National Convention, the outgoing POTUS repeated the now-debunked lie that Donald Trump called white nationalists “very fine people.”
“I ran for president in 2020 because of what I saw in Charlottesville in August of 2017,” Biden said. “Extremists coming out of the woods carrying torches, their veins bulging from their necks, carrying Nazi swastikas and chanting the same exact antisemitic bile that was heard in Germany in the early ’30s.”
“When the president was asked what he thought had happened, Donald Trump said, and I quote, ‘There are very fine people on both sides.’ My God, that’s what he said. That is what he said and what he meant,” Biden continued. “That’s when I realized … I could not stay on the sidelines. So I ran.”

The moment quickly went viral on X, with many citing recent fact-checking articles from left-wing outlet Snopes proving Trump didn’t praise white nationalists.
“Biden STILL peddles that outrageous Charlottesville lie that Trump referred to white supremacists and neo-Nazis when he said there were “very fine people on both sides.” The partisan irresponsible media allows Biden to get away with this vicious lie,” said former California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder.
