Using a constantly refuted and confirmed falsehood, President Joe Biden called attention to the “very fine people scam” during his farewell speech to the Dem National Convention.
President Donald Trump allegedly called the people who protested in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 “very great people,” according to a fake. As the text of his speech reveals, Trump actually denounced them “completely.”
In April 2019, Biden launched his candidacy with the help of the scam. In August 2019, Breitbart News explicitly challenged him, presenting proof that showed Trump had, in fact, denounced the neo-Nazis. Biden denied it, and he repeated the falsehood.
The left-leaning Snopes website has disproved the hoax several times.
Former President Trump refuted the lie during his latest debate with Biden; former VP Mike Pence did the same during his 2020 debate with then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA); and Trump refuted it on national television during his second impeachment trial.
However, Biden has persisted in stating the falsehood practically word for word, even going so far as to assert that the KKK paraded “without hoods” because they perceived Trump as an ally.
Strangely, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protestors—some of whom waved Hamas and other terror group flags—demonstrated outside the convention site as Biden attempted to link his opponent to antisemitism.
Therefore, Biden will exit the political scene in the same manner that he arrived: with a falsehood that has stoked national division, anger, and terror while thwarting repeated attempts by well-meaning citizens to react with the truth.
