Joe Biden, while campaigning in 2020, repeatedly mischaracterized remarks from former President Donald Trump regarding the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Biden went as far to even claim that he knew he “had to run” for president after hearing the 45th President say “there were very fine people on both sides”.
During Friday’s impeachment trial, Trump’s lawyer David Schoen played a clip House Democrat managers, who had tried to present to the Senate the “very fine people” hoax. Then he presented to the Senate, President Trump’s full remarks.
Paul Sperry tweeted Friday, “BOMBSHELL: Big 3 TV networks carrying live the Trump impeachment defense forced to finally air FULL remarks of Trump’s Charlottesville remarks CONDEMNING neoNazis, putting the lie to Joe Biden’s repeated mischaracterizations during debates that Trump said they were ‘fine people'”.
