GEEZ! Don’t be so TOUCHY Joe…
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden doubled down Thursday on a lie that he has repeatedly spread despite being called out on it numerous times and despite video evidence that clearly debunks his claim.
While Biden was campaigning at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair, Breitbart’s Joel Pollak confronted him over his repeated false claim that Trump called neo-Nazis and white nationalists “very fine people” in response to Charlottesville.
“Mr. Vice President are you aware that you are misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville?” Pollack asked Biden. “He never called neo-Nazis ‘very fine people.'”
“No, he called all those folks who walked out of that — they were neo-Nazis,” Biden said as he became visibly angry. “Shouting hate, their veins bulging.”
“But he said specifically that he was condemning them,” Pollak asserted.
“No, he did not. He said, he walked out, and he said — let’s get this straight,” Biden falsely claimed. “He said there were ‘very fine people’ in both groups. They’re chanting antisemitic slogans, carrying flags.”
Left-wing Politico reporter Natasha Korecki seemingly took sides during the confrontation, stating that Biden tore into Pollak.

Biden has repeatedly made this false claim over the last several months and has refused to back off of it despite clear video evidence that shows he is lying.
Trump actually stated, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

Biden spokesperson Bill Russo tried to cover for Biden on Twitter, tweeting out a deceptively edited transcript of Trump’s remarks.
“You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”

Both Breitbart News and the Trump campaign quickly called out Russo for his deception.
Breitbart News tweeted, “Why did you need to omit this?”
Included in Breitbart News’ tweet was a screenshot showing the rest of the transcript of Trump’s remarks where Trump did condemn neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

Tim Murtaugh, Director of Communications for the Trump campaign, replied to Russo, “You always leave this out. From that very same event, moments later. But you know that.”
You always leave this out. From that very same event, moments later. But you know that.

Even CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is often highly critical of Trump, acknowledges that Trump did not say that neo-Nazis and white nationalists are “very fine people.”

CNN’s Steve Cortes did a 5-minute video for Prager University that completely debunks the media and the Democratic Party’s claim that Trump called neo-Nazis and white nationalists “very fine people.”
This video is very well done by CNN’s @CortesSteve. Trump never said white supremacists in Charlottesville were “very fine people” yet media constantly reports he did. Trump’s far from perfect, but media needs to get this right. Watch it: pic.twitter.com/TIHViwHn1h

This is typical fake news’ reporting practice. Leave out the select parts that change the whole meaning of what President Trump says. If they reported it like he said it they couldn’t get a rise out of the democRAT followers. The fake news media do this on almost everything the President says. They selectively leave out words to intentionally change the meaning of what was said. Fake news at it’s best.
Sounds like it lost something it never had and that is sense or bluntly put “common sense”.it is a moron of the highest order like a god of morons.Joe go back to your playpen before a true ADULT puts you back in.Need a diaper change cause you stink S**t.
You’re a GOD DAMNED LIAR, Joe Biden….Go back and review the film, you demented bastard…
Crazy, demented old low life JOE BIDEN….LIAR IN CHIEF!
Biden, not important anymore, and delusional.
It’s running rapidly through the Democratic party
It’s called Trump syndrome, and all the democrats, and liberals have it.
In 2016, hillary was infected with this disease,
and she infected god knows who.
There’s no known cure, except going away
never to be politically involved with anything.
Joke Biden, what a crooked lying POS!!!!
Biden is a dumb ass motherfucker with shit for brains. Cocksucker eats shit. This asshole ain’t gonna win shit either. Fucking asshole.
Hey Biden, this is what happens when you get your political talking points from Classic Comics or the MSM instead of reading or listening to the ENTIRE transcript.
