I think one of the things that consistently makes Americans mad is the idea that they are being lied to. A lot of Americans have reached the point where they do not believe anything a political figure says. That may or may not be justified, but it is unfortunate. A lie that is consistently told by the political left to smear President Trump is making the rounds again courtesy of President Biden.<\/p>\n
Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about the lie on Thursday.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n President Joe Biden repeated the infamous \u201cvery fine people hoax\u201d on Thursday evening in Brussels, Belgium, falsely claiming that his predecessor praised neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n The president was speaking at a press conference to close the NATO summit on Ukraine. A European reporter asked the president how he could be sure that his successor in 2024 would not undo his diplomatic approach to NATO. (President Trump irked European powers by demanding that they live up to their NATO commitment of spending at least 2% of gross domestic product on defense. Germany belatedly agreed, finally, to meet its commitment only after Russia had invaded Ukraine.)<\/strong><\/p>\n Biden, claiming that he did not think about his foreign policy decisions in purely electoral terms, referred to the familiar original story that he has told<\/a> since 2019 when claiming that Charlottesville motivated him to come out of retirement and run for president.<\/strong><\/p>\n I made the commitment, when I ran this time, I wasn\u2019t going to run again, and I mean that sincerely, I had no intention of running for president again, until I saw those folks coming out of the fields in Virginia carrying torches and carrying Nazi banners, and literally singing the same vile rhyme they used in Germany in the early twenties, or thirties I should say, and then the gentleman you mentioned [Trump] was asked what he thought and a young woman was killed, a protester, and he was asked what he thought, he said there were \u201cvery good people\u201d\u2018 on both sides. And that\u2019s when I decided I wasn\u2019t going to be quiet any longer.<\/strong><\/p>\n For nearly two years, Biden stood by the hoax, even when presented personally and directly with evidence that it was false:<\/strong><\/p>\n …As Breitbart News and others, notably cartoonist Scott Adams and political commentator Steve Cortes, have demonstrated for years, President Trump said he condemned the neo-Nazis \u201ctotally.\u201c When Trump used the term \u201cvery fine people,\u201c he was referring explicitly to peaceful protesters on either side of a dispute about the removal of a local confederate statue.<\/strong><\/p>\n The transcript<\/a> of Trump\u2019s remarks is clear: he said that when he referred to \u201cvery fine people,\u201d he was talking about peaceful protesters, and \u201cnot talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Trump also specifically condemned the murder of protester Heather Heyer, saying it was potentially \u201cterrorism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The Charlottesville \u201cvery fine people hoax\u201d was shattered<\/a> in full public view last year when former President Trump\u2019s defense lawyers exposed it as a fraud during Trump\u2019s second impeachment trial.<\/strong><\/p>\n …Biden also falsely claimed that police officers were killed in the capital riot last January.<\/strong><\/p>\n This sort of lying is one of many reasons most Americans do not believe anything a politician says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think one of the things that consistently makes Americans mad is the idea that they are being lied to.
