Jake Tapper Admits That Trump Didn’t Call Neo-Nazis And White Supremacists ‘Very Fine People’

Joe Biden’s announcement video really centered around what happened in Charlottesville.

As I’ve said before, he wants to convince people that Trump is at worst a white supremacist and at best a white supremacist sympathizer. Jim Acosta is happily touting that narrative.

Trump defended his Charlottesville comments this morning on his way to Indiana:
"I have answered that question, and if you look at what I said, you will see that question was answered perfectly.”

Trump defends his “very fine people” comments on Charlottesville: “People were there protesting the taking down of the monument of Robert E. Lee. Everybody knows that.” Fact check: There were many neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

Allow me to remind everyone what Trump ACTUALLY SAID.

“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

He later added:

“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”

Even Jake Tapper is admitting that people are taking Trump’s words out of context.

Via the Daily Wire:

When Trump’s comments were discussed by Tapper on “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” the CNN host, who is often highly critical of Trump, admitted that the president was not referring to neo-Nazis and white supremacists when he made his “very fine people” comment. Trump stated at the time:

And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists, because they should be condemned totally — but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and White nationalists, Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group.

“He’s not saying that the neo-Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people,” Tapper said, adding that Trump was referring to protestors who did not want Confederate monuments removed and who were not a part of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

You KNOW it’s a wild lie if Jake Tapper’s admitting what’s up.
