Brian Stelter....my boy? LOL! Seems like it could be a good press release, I don't actually know. Are you saying any part of it isn't true?
He proved he was a hack at the last presidential debate.
The "very fine people" myth stated Trump referred to Nazis and white supremacists as "very fine people", when it was obvious to anyone who watched it, that he was referring to people on both sides ofthe statue debate, and he condemned nazis and white supremecists specifically. If anyone read the whole transcript or watched the whole video, they could easily have learned the truth.
This didn't stop the democrats, hollywood, or anyone else on the left from bastardizing it, taking it out of context, and perpetuating the myth. It was tweeted thousands of times. Politicians misquoted it all the time.
But as stated, anyone who watched knew the truth. So why did Wallace introduce it this way, and allow Biden to blatantly lie about it? Was Wallace himself unaware of the whole transcript? Seems impossible for someone in the field. So why did he say and allow this:
WALLACE: No, less than you have. Let’s please continue on. The issue of race. Vice-President Biden, you say that President Trump’s response to the violence in Charlottesville three years ago, when he talked about very fine people on both sides, was what directly led you to launch this run for president.
TRUMP: Oh yeah, sure.
WALLACE: President Trump, you have often said that you believe you will have done more for Black Americans than any president with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln.
TRUMP: That’s true.
WALLACE: My question for the two of you, is why should voters trust you rather than your opponent to deal with the race issues facing this country over the next four years? Vice President Biden, you go first.
BIDEN: It’s about equity and equality. It’s about decency. It’s about the Constitution. And we have never walked away from trying to require, acquire equity for everyone, equality for the whole of America. But we’ve never accomplished it, but we’ve never walked away from it like he has done. It is true, the reason I got in the race is when those people. . . Close your eyes, remember what those people look like coming out of the fields, carrying torches, their veins bulging, spewing–just spewing anti-Semitic bile and accompanied by the Ku Klux Klan. A young woman got killed, and they asked the president what he thought. He said, “There were very fine people on both sides.” No president’s ever said anything like that. [crosstalk].
