Default Biden Spokesman Doubles Down After Getting Called Out ForCharlottesville Disinformation


"I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists,
because they should be condemned totally."

- Donald J Trump, August 12, 2017


And just for the record, there is nothing wrong with being white, with
being proud that you are white, and having this notion that you live in
a country, a "nation", with a characteristic culture, language, secure
borders and controlled immigration.

Biden Spokesman Doubles Down After Getting Called Out For
Charlottesville Disinformation

Thu, 08/08/2019 - 21:26

On Thursday, Breitbart's Joel Pollak asked former Vice President about a
lie he's been peddling - namely that President Trump called neo-Nazis
"very fine people" during his speech in the aftermath of the
Charlottesville Unite the Right rally.

Biden began his remarks at the "Political Soapbox" at the Iowa State
Fair by repeating the claim that Trump had called neo-Nazis "very fine
people": "Charlottesville - that hate and that venom that we saw, and
then the president saying, when asked about the groups as well as the
young woman, when she was killed, he said there were very fine people in
both groups. Very fine people. No president, sitting president has ever
said something like that. And the only thing that's happened is it's
gotten worse." -Breitbart

When asked by Pollak "Mr. Vice President, are you aware that you're
misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville? He never called neo-Nazis
very fine people?" Biden angrily replied "No, he called all those folks
who walked out of that, neo-Nazis shouting hate. Their veins bulging."

"But he specifically said he was condemning them," replied Pollak, to
which Biden erupted "No he did not. He said he walked out and he said
it. He said there were very fine people in both groups. They were
chanting anti-Semitic slogans and carrying flags."

Biden then stormed away from Pollak.

Enter Biden spokesman, Bill Russo - who tweeted pure disinformation
trying to prove Breitbart wrong, with a partial transcript of Trump's
Charlottesville comments.

"You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."

What Russo failed to include was what Trump said shortly after - which
Breitbart's called him out for over Twitter for omitting the part where
Trump says "I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white
nationalists, because they should be condemned totally."

After his public shaming, Russo doubled down, tweeting "Ok so exactly
which of the torch-wielding, Nazi-saluting fanatics chanting "Jews will
not replace us" fit your gaslighting narrative?"

The Twitterverse was not kind to Bill:

This is the type of tweet we see when somebody knows he's lost the
argument.

Sleepy Joe lied. Take the L and move on.

You omitted facts sir.

Just apologize for the misleading info, and move on to issues blue
collar Americans care about, like the economy.

Geez!

Bill Doubling down on this is a bad idea
- Maurice Matovich (@HMOTP) August 8, 2019

Propaganda
- rspecial (@rspecial2) August 8, 2019

So not only is the the Democratic 2020 frontrunner peddling a provable
lie, his spokesman just reinforced it with easily disprovable
disinformation!
