President Donald Trump On Charlottesville: You Had Very Fine People, On Both Sides | CNBC

[breakfast]

This is the exact moment in which I lost trust in the media

[usssanjacinto]

Trump: "I'm not talking about the Neo-Nazis or the White Nationalists because they should be condemned totally. I'm talking about people other then the Nazis or Nationalists who were treated badly by the press."

Reporter: "I'm sorry sir, I couldn't understand you. You said that the Neo-Nazis and White Nationalists were being treated unfairly by the press."

[browny]

Who is here to re-watch what trump said cause of the presidential debate.

[Disciplelife]

Biden today "Trump has never once condemned Neo-Nazis".

[iandurn]

Dang, I was totally duped. This entire time I thought he called Neo-Nazi fine people, when in reality, he condemned them. God, even people one the right fell this myth.

[swandivemedia]

people still think hes -never - condemned white nationalist and nazis. In this speech alone he did it at least twice.

[Orf]

1:55 "I'm not talking about the Neo-Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally."

[ceoofworldpeace]

I read the entire transcript and he never called the neo-nazis "fine people."

[mrsw]

I don’t know how anyone can watch this and still believe CNN.

[bychen]

"Are we going to take down George Washington's statue?"
Huh, that aged well.

[kidzbopisstraightfire]

"I'm not talking about the Neo-Nazis and the White Supremacists, because they should be condemned completely."

[manuelviv]

These reporters have the worst case of selective hearing 🤦‍♂️

[jeffbobbin]

How did anyone misconstrue this as racist? Was watching Don Lemon then had to come here and verify. We're being lied to it's pathetic on the mainstream medias part.

[paeyreyes]

When the press says, "I don't understand . . . " they actually mean "I'm trying really hard to misunderstand and misquote."

[eanderson]

The whole “very fine people” incident is a case where if the media says a lie enough times, the people will believe it as true

[wechulipaul]

Wow, American media is something else.

[minnesotajack]

Behold the actual context behind “very fine people”.

[Jerds]

Biden today at the debates: trump said neo-Nazis were fine people.

Me today: he literally didn’t

[Free_Snooki]

He said this so beautifully. Not even a Trump supporter.
_🏛️🤷🏽‍♂️💯_

[derperderp]

This is the absolute moment I knew the media going forward would cause the next civil war.
