Barack Obama recycled the “very fine people” narrative yet again, despite the fact that it’s a proven hoax.
Obama made the comments during a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“Maybe you’re Muslim-American or you’re Jewish-American and you’re furious about the ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East and worried about the rise of anti-semitism,” said Obama.
“Why would you place your faith in someone who instituted a so-called Muslim ban,” he added (another hoax given that it wasn’t a ‘Muslim ban’ – it only covered 8 per cent of the global Muslim population and focused on countries that were a high security risk to the United States).
Obama went on to assert that Trump “said that there were very fine people on both sides of the white supremacist rally.”
The Harris campaign also amplified this narrative back in August with a post on X via her official campaign account.
Democrats have been circulating this talking point for 7 years despite it being a known fabrication which was even acknowledged by left-wing Snopes.
Trump made the comments in response to the Unite the Right rally in August 2017, which was focused around the removal of a Confederate statue.
“Trump did say there were “very fine people on both sides,” referring to the protesters and the counterprotesters,” reported Snopes.
