Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) cited the debunked claim Thursday that President Donald Trump had praised neo-Nazis and white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville in August 2017.
Pelosi was answering a softball question from a reporter about whether the president wanted “payback” for impeachment. After attacking Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday as an “insult,” Pelosi said Trump was “giving encouragement to people to do things” — things such as Charlottesville:
Just as, remember, Charlottesville. People were coming down that hill, with tiki torches, saying, “The Jews will not replace us, The Jews will not replace us,” and what was the president’s statement? “There are good people on both sides.” Really? “The Jews will not replace us’ and ‘good people on both sides”?
In fact, as the transcript of his remarks confirms, President Trump “condemned totally” the neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville, and used the phrase “fine people” to refer to non-violent protesters who demonstrated both for and against the removal of a Confederate statue from a local park.
Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to use the Charlottesville “fine people hoax,” even after Breitbart News confronted him last year at the Iowa State Fair with the fact that it was simply untrue.Pelosi also reiterated that the president is “impeached forever,” even after he had been acquitted by the Senate on Wednesday. She also misquoted him as saying that the “Second Amendment [sic] enables me to do whatever I want.” Trump was citing his Article II powers with regard to his authority to hire and fire executive branch officials, not to his power in general.
Sheiker of the House Nasty Nancy sounds like she is still upset about the Democrats failed Coup way too bad Nancy now many democrats want you out why don’t you do as they say and resign to the nuthouse for the liberal insane
bar fly polosi needs psychiatric help. there is no getting around this medical fact. her actions, voice, and jesters indicate a very sick person. In 10 years her name will be forgotten as will reptile nadler and gay pencil neck schiff.
Democrats live by the lie. They failed for 8 years and have to lie about that, so now they have to lie about Trump and his successes. Pelosi is, simply, trash.
Doesn’t matter how many times a lie is debunked, when liberals run out of things on their list to go after Trump about, they simply pick one of the things already debunked and allege it again.
I think it is because they value emotion so much more than thinking that they keep doing this.
Their “hate Trump” loop blinds them to reason or even memory.
@Nan G: It’s only been debunked in the truth media. The liberal media still propagates the lies so Leatherface is free to lie to her lie-addicted followers with impunity.
