7 Year smear job exposed.

Trump 'specifically' condemned Nazis and white supremacists, Snopes notes

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.

I appreciate your fanatical hatred of "smear jobs," Luvnit--from "the left" at least. 

This "7 year smear job" isn't really new. We've gone over this several times, including Trump's eventual specific condemnation of ne-Nazis.

One group especially approved of Trump's clarification--those he purportedly condemned.

Snopes also notes that: "Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth about #Charlottesville & condemn the leftist terrorists in BLM/Antifa," Duke, a former KKK grand wizard, posted on X in response to Trump's comments.

While everyone is trying to clarify whether Trump condemns neo Nazis and White Supremacists, I'd like someone from the Trump camp to step forward and remind us why these groups are supposed to be bad in the first place. What specific beliefs are to be "totally condemned"? And more importantly,

 Why would they cheer and continue to support Trump if he condemned them "totally"?  Why wouldn't they lean more toward Biden, the "real" racist?
