CLAIM: President Joe Biden said Trump referred to neo-Nazis in Charlottesville in 2017 as very “fine people.”
Biden, struggling in Thursday night’s presidential debate on CNN — the first of the 2024 general election — returned to an old standard: the “very fine people” hoax. He insisted it was true, even after Trump pointed out, correctly, that it had been debunked again in the past several days .Snopes.
Several commentators — notably cartoonist-turned-pundit Scott Adams, and conservative commentator Steve Cortes — publicly debunked what became known as the “very fine people” hoax, but Biden and the media continued to use it. In a June 20, 2024 post, Snopes rated as “false” the claim: “On Aug. 15, 2017, then-President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists who attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, ‘very fine people.'”
