What is the Fine People Hoax?
Joe Biden ran on “The Fine People” hoax which was designed to incite extreme hatred against President Trump and his supporters. Democrats launched this hoax after President Trump used perfect language to stand up for Americans who were protesting for and against the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee.
President Trump said there were “fine people” on both sides of that debate which was true. Many who gathered that day simply wanted to preserve history. A group of Neo-Nazis joined Americans attended the rally and President Trump perfectly stated in his speech “I am not talking about the Neo Nazis because they should be condemned totally.”
Our President should defend all Americans who honorably use their free speech rights. The Democrats clipped the speech to only show President Trump saying “there were fine people on both sides” and selectively edited out his very next statement which was “and I’m not talking about the Neo Nazis because they should be condemned totally.”
Democrats in the media, including Jake Tapper, ran with this hoax, repeating it endlessly without showing President Trump’s full statement. Joe Biden based his campaign on the “Fine People Hoax” saying that President Trump's support for “Neo-Nazis” is why he was running for President. Joe Biden repeated this lie many times and made it part of his stump speech.
Of course, President Trump never spoke in defense of Neo-Nazis. He condemned the Neo-Nazis totally. President spoke in defense of people wanting to take down or keep a statue. Ultimately, this hoax influences had the unintended consequence of influencing many Americans like myself to take action against the Democrat Party.
