Biden notes Trump’s ‘fine people’ comment after Charlottesville rally
Denouncing antisemitism and racism, US President Joe Biden says former president Donald Trump called Nazis and others at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017 “fine people.”
He also claims Trump thinks Hitler had good ideas. “I’d like to know what they are,” Biden quips.
Trump responds by saying the claims about what he said following Charlottesville have been debunked, while contending that Biden’s claim that he ran for president due to Charlottesville was made up.
During a subsequent break, several outlets report that Biden’s team is claiming he has a cold, explaining his hoarse voice, which has made him hard to understand at times, an issue Trump and his team have hammered.
