Former President Trump recently clarified his position on controversial comments he made after the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally in 2017. Contrary to popular belief, Trump claimed he never referred to neo-Nazis as “very good”. The clarification comes after years of criticism from opponents, including President Biden, who cited the alleged incident as a major reason for launching his 2020 campaign.
In his original statement, Trump did mention that there were “very good people on both sides,” but he also explicitly stated that he was not referring to neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and that they should be “totally condemned.” This has led to a re-evaluation of the claim, which has now been called false.
This false claim about Trump's comments had spread quickly, especially among his critics, and was used as a key point in Biden's election campaign. The clarification of those comments aligns with Trump's long-standing contention that his words were taken out of context, a claim supported by transcripts and video evidence.
The reassessment of that claim comes just days before the first scheduled debate between Biden and Trump. The debate, which will be televised, will take place in Atlanta later this week. In preparation for the event, Biden has isolated himself at Camp David over the weekend, while Trump continues his campaign before heading to Atlanta.
In other news, Trump has expressed his desire to send illegal migrants, especially those involved in gang activity, drug trafficking and violent crime, back to their countries of origin. This statement was made during a rally in Philadelphia, where he also suggested a potential idea for the UFC.
