Joe Biden is at the Iowa State Fair Thursday doing his thing, and he proved he can still bring the gaffes. The media made us well aware that President Trump slipped up the other day and said Toledo instead of Dayton, but how much exposure will the give to Biden saying that Democrats choose “truth over facts”? Is that like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying she’d rather be morally right than factually correct?

Biden also got into it with Breitbart’s Joel Pollak, who tried to disabuse Biden of the “Charlottesville hoax,” or the idea that Trump said that neo-Nazis there were “very fine people,” when in fact he’d denounced white supremacists specifically — the “both sides” of which he was speaking were those who demanded Confederate statues and memorials be taken down and those who wanted them preserved as historical artifacts. Don’t forget; Biden used the “very fine people” myth in his campaign launch video.

Breitbart's @JoelPollak confronts Joe Biden for repeatedly lying about Trump's response to Charlottesville
Trump said: "I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally"

Like all the other Democrats, Biden is going all-in with the current media narrative that Trump and anyone who supports him is a white supremacist, and on Wednesday, he claimed that Trump had never denied the KKK. The Trump War Room was ready for that one.
Joe Biden falsely claimed today that President Trump "doesn't deny" the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
Here are 7 examples of President Trump condemning and rejecting the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists. pic.twitter.com/1PZnZpUT4o

Biden should know all about the KKK , his party founded that organization…what a doofus, does he really want to go there? ?

Are Dems ever asked to condemn the KKK, Robert Byrd, Richard Spencer, etc??
— Greg- From America's Dark Underbelly (@Gregonimo) August 7, 2019
Robert Byrd, the man Hillary Clinton called her mentor? Nah.
How often did Sleepy Joe support the former Grand Wizard the former Senator from West Virginia?
— CMK (@cmorgank) August 7, 2019
Biden actually is showing his age and racist background by brining up an old, mostly defunct group of terrorists from his past. This is his reference, folks. And he was always close with Robert “sheets” Byrd, and actual clansman who was a DEMOCRAT in Congress for years!!!!
— Jeffrey Graham (@Jeffrey52095461) August 8, 2019
Does Joe deny the KKK? Has anyone asked him? Wasn't he friends with Senator Byrd?
— Jenxyb (@Jenxyb1) August 7, 2019
Didn’t Joe give the eulogy at Grand Wizard Byrd’s funeral?
— Jeff Welch (@jwelchrochelle) August 7, 2019
As a matter of fact, he did.
They have nothing else. So they use race. Same old story from the democrats a century later. It’s okay we will crush them at the polls. And elsewhere if need be.

Ever notice that when Democrats try to prove Republicans are racist all they have as an example are other Democrats and Democrat associated organizations?

Hey @JoeBiden, have you called for Ralph Northam to step down?

How many more days until he breaks out the “put y’all back in chains” line?

Update:
Even CNN’s Jake Tapper has debunked the “both sides” myth, not that that’ll stop Biden from running with it:

And yet it’s a staple of Biden’s stump speech and is repeated by nearly every other Democratic presidential candidate, and no one in the media had fact-checked them on it ‘til now https://t.co/v8YYRQNImz

Update:
It looks like the Washington Examiner did a little stealth editing after deleting its tweet claiming that Biden “corrected” Pollak — now they just shared “a heated exchange.” Could it be that the video of Trump clearly condemning neo-Nazis and white nationalists in Charlottesville is finally reaching people?
