The liberal media spin machine, AKA the democratic party propaganda ministry, is spreading the lie that President Trump refused to denounce white supremacy in Tuesday’s debate. He most certainly did, but what the fake news industry is ignoring completely is the fact that Joe Biden not only refused to denounce Antifa and leftist violence, he actually excused their behavior.
Despite the headlines on every liberal media outlet on Wednesday, Trump did not refuse to denounce white supremacy. Here’s the proof:
“Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacy and militias?” asked moderator Chris Wallace.
“Sure,” replied President Trump.
Perhaps people in the media don’t understand what the reply of “sure” means, so put it in this context:
“Would you like salsa with your breakfast burrito?” asked the waiter.
“Sure,” replied the customer.
In this instance the customer is agreeing with the waiter’s question by saying “sure” meaning he does want salsa with his breakfast burrito. With Trump, he agreed with Chris Wallace that he denounces white supremacy and militias by saying “sure.”
Wallace apparently didn’t understand how the word “sure” works either so he asked roughly the same question.
“And to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we saw in Portland?” Wallace asked.
“Sure,” replied Trump again.
So that’s twice that President Trump denounced white supremacy and yet the liberal media narrative is that he refused to do so. If he had actually refused to, he might have said something like what Joe Biden said when asked if he would condemn left-wing violence.
“Antifa is an idea not an organization, not militia,” said Biden.
So President Trump twice condemns white supremacy and Joe Biden makes excuses for Antifa but the liberal reports that Trump refused to condemn white supremacy. Check out the headlines:
The Guardian: Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacy fits pattern of extremist rhetoric
ABC News: Trump’s failure to condemn white supremacy at debate part of well-established pattern
The Atlantic: President Donald Trump refused to clearly condemn white supremacy at last night’s debate
The New York Times: Trump Refuses to Denounce White Supremacy in Chaotic Debate
NPR: From Debate Stage, Trump Declines To Denounce White Supremacy
Politico: Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacists launches an online furor
As you can see from the video above, President Trump did condemn white supremacy, so what the hell were these liberal pseudo-journalists watching?
And by the way, none of these liberal media outlets, or any others, had headlines saying that Joe Biden refused to condemn Antifa. They certainly didn’t run stories about how Crazy Joe was making excuses for the violent domestic terrorist group.
This is what the fake news industry does for the democratic party. They make up lies about President Trump while they bury anything negative about Joe Biden. It sure looks like they are trying to influence the presidential election, but the liberal media assures us that they are simply reporting the facts as they see them.
