The infamous “very fine people” narrative has resurfaced, thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris, who trotted it out again during the recent debate. In a desperate move to paint former President Donald Trump as a racist, Harris referenced the 2017 Charlottesville rally and asserted that Trump endorsed a group of white supremacists responsible for violence that day. It’s a tired tale, one that has been debunked more times than anyone cares to count, yet here it is, back in the spotlight.
Harris highlighted Trump’s statement during the aftermath of the rally, embellishing the context to fit her narrative. She emphasized his remark about “fine people on both sides,” completely overlooking the critical distinction he made regarding those actually marching in support of tearing down a statue. This wasn’t just rhetoric; it has been thoroughly fact-checked and dismissed as misleading by various outlets, including Snopes, which isn’t exactly known for its pro-Trump bias. The left continually clings to this glitch in history like it’s a beloved childhood teddy bear, oblivious to the fact that it has lost all its stuffing.

The real story of the “Unite the Right” rally involves violent clashes between neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and leftist counter-protesters. Trump’s statement, often misrepresented, focused specifically on those protesting the planned removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, distinctly separating them from the extremist elements present that day. The media, however, has taken these remarks and turned them into a weapon, slicing context out like a butcher at an all-you-can-eat barbecue.
In a debate where Harris repeatedly labeled anything Trump said as false, the moderators somehow neglected to fact-check her on this point. It raises a question about bias: when the left clearly misrepresents facts, where are the so-called “fact-checkers” then? If anything, this omission only underscored how desperate and flimsy the left’s attacks have become, leaning on recycled garbage from seven years ago rather than addressing the real issues at hand.
Furthermore, Trump’s comments included a clear condemnation of neo-Nazis and white supremacists, stating they should be “condemned totally.” Those who insist otherwise are willfully ignoring the full scope of his remarks. Harris, by dragging this ancient narrative back into view, reveals a lack of new material and possibly even a fear of honest debate. The left’s strategy seems to rely on repeating discredited claims as a substitute for actual policy discussions, and that’s nothing new. If the best they can come up with is “very fine people,” it’s pretty clear they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.
