Biden lashes out at Breitbart reporter who suggested he misquoted Trump on Charlottesville
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday snapped at a reporter from a right-wing outlet who said he misquoted President Trump's statement on white supremacists who clashed with counterprotesters in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017.
Speaking to reporters at the Iowa State Fair, Biden was accused by Joel Pollak, host of “Breitbart News Tonight” on Sirius XM radio, of misquoting Trump.“He did not,” Biden said. “Let’s get this straight. He said there were very fine people in both groups. They were chanting anti-Semitic slogans, carrying flags.”.@JoeBiden rips into a man at the #IowaStateFair who claims he is misquoting Trump’s “very fine people” and the president did not call the Charlottesville marchers that pic.twitter.
In Iowa, Biden was asked by a different reporter if he believes Trump is a white supremacist, something Democratic rivals Elizabeth Warren and Beto O’Rourke have said in the wake of the mass shooting that killed 22 people in El Paso, Texas, last week. The gunman in that massacre posted a so-called manifesto that echoed Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric.
