I went off on the Charlottesville hoax Monday — the claim that President Donald Trump had called neo-Nazis "very fine people." He didn't — he condemned them specifically — but that didn't stop pathological liar Joe Biden from using the hoax to launch his campaign.
I did a post earlier on the fear that a second Trump term would be "vitriolic and vengeful," and I'm all for it. Cable news went wall-to-wall with coverage of the Russian collusion scandal, which was opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign.
Whatever intern is running the @JoeBiden account really needs to step up his game. "Four years ago today, Trump told Americans to inject bleach on national television." "Don't vote for the guy who told you to inject bleach."
And they run this on top of a 30-second clip in which Trump never says the word "bleach" and never advises anyone to inject themselves with anything.
Don’t inject bleach.

And don’t vote for the guy who told you to inject bleach. https://t.co/4ggDwycPlY
Don't vote for the pathological liar who will lie about where his son died to pander to the audience at hand.
Where's the video of Trump telling people to inject themselves with bleach?
No, he didn't assert that people should inject bleach.

Claiming otherwise is a lie.
The video proves you're lying 🤡

Just like you all claimed Ivermectin was poisonous horse paste.
The media went along with that one, with CNN picking up on "horse paste."
Trump didn't tell anyone to drink bleach, but you did say this. pic.twitter.com/WNOPqRHZxP

He never said that, you lying POS. But you know that and you’re posting disinformation intentionally. @CommunityNotes

You literally posted the video that disproves this claim… 🤦🏼♀️

Doesn’t matter how many times you repeat the lie, it’s still a lie. And if @X was truly on the side of truth, they’d @CommunityNotes you into oblivion.

Nowhere in the video does he say “inject bleach”

You should take the One Day Honesty Challenge. Go one day without lying or spreading a hoax. Can you do it?

Can we get a clarification on what Trump was ACTUALLY talking about.
Get notes Biden
You people will continue to lie when the truth is right in front of your face.

I know Biden didn't tweet this because he's in Florida telling 12 people about the time he used to drive an 18-wheeler.
Remember the days when Democrats — including Kamala Harris — insisted that they would NOT take a vaccine that had been developed under Trump? And now they want you on your tenth booster.
I can't stand that the Biden campaign has built itself on hoaxes. I want to see the two debate with video screens behind them to play clips like this one when Biden brings up the bleach hoax or the Charlottesville hoax. We should have fact-checkers like Glenn Kessler and Daniel Dale all over this, but the best we can hope for is Community Notes.
