Fact Check #2: Biden's Top Lies Told at DNC Address in Under 5 Minutes

NEW - Fact Checking the Top Lies Told by President Biden During DNC Address in Under 5 Minutes 🧵 | 2. "Very Fine People on Both Sides" During his DNC address this evening, President Biden reiterated the false claim that former President Trump referred to Neo-Nazis and white supremacists as "very fine people" after the 2017 Charlottesville rally. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, so emboldened by a president then in the White House that they saw as an ally, they didn't even bother to wear their hoods."

Biden went on to say;

"In the process, a young woman was killed. When I contacted her mother, I asked about what happened. She told me. When the president was asked what he thought had happened, Donald Trump said, and I quote; 'There are very fine people on both sides.' My god! That's what he said."

However, this has been debunked numerous times.

During a press conference following the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," but clarified that he was referring to the protesters and counter protesters, not the neo-Nazis and white nationalists, whom he condemned "totally."
