Last night’s raucous debate moderated by Fox News’ Chris Wallace was heated. President Trump and Joe Biden spoke over one another, and most likely no minds were changed.
The one clear takeaway from last night’s debate is that the mainstream media’s over-the-top denunciation of President Trump’s aggressive performance confirms their overt bias and commitment to aiding Joe Biden’s political campaign.
The headline on most mainstream news outlets is the claim that President Trump refused to disavow white supremacists. A simple look at the transcript from the debate proves that this is a lie.
Wallace: “Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacist and militia groups…”
Trump: “Sure…”
Wallace interrupts stating: “And to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha, and as we’ve seen in Portland”.
Trump: “Sure, I’m prepared to do it, but I would say almost everything I see is from the left-wing not from the right-wing. I’m willing to do anything. I want to see peace..”
Wallace: “Then do its, sir.”
Trump: “ What do you want me to call them? Give me a name.”
Wallace: “White supremacists and right-wing militias.”
Biden: “Proud Boys”
Trump: “ Proud Boys, stand back, and stand by. But I’ll tell you what, somebody has got to do something about ANTIFA and the left.”
Shamefully, the mainstream media’s take on this interaction leaves out the context. Wallace asked Trump to disavow the rioting white supremacists and right-wing military groups, not white supremacy in general.
However, Trump did disavow white supremacy. His reluctance was to condemn rioters considered on the political right. Trump does not believe that the violence is coming from the right, (which is in agreement with the evidence) but are left-wing activists associated with Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA. Hence, the hedging with his answer.
Setting the record straight today, Trump emphatically denounced white supremacy. Trump also clarified that he was not defending the Proud Boys, stating that he does not even know who they are.
Interestingly, Wallace did not ask Biden to disavow ANTIFA or the BLM movement, the groups responsible for the violence and rioting throughout the country. Incredibly, even when Biden denied that ANTIFA was a group of people, claiming that they were just “an idea”, there was no push back from Wallace.
However, Trump had a great comeback line: “When ANTIFA bats you over the head, it’s not an idea.”
Unfortunately, Trump missed an opportunity last night, allowing the left an opening to misconstrue his words. He should have clarified the false narrative that he believes white supremacists are “very fine people”.
In particular, Biden and many others have repeatedly lied about Trump’s response to the violent protest in Charlottesville. Biden claims that he decided to run for president when he heard Trump state that there were fine white supremacists at the 2017 Charlottesville protest.
Biden is lying. During a 2017 press conference, when asked about the protests which centered around the removal of the statue of Confederate leader Robert E. Lee
Trump stated:
“..We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.”
Later in the presser, Trump stated that not all of the people there were white supremacists or Neo-nazis. That many were there to protest the removal of the statue. These are the people that Trump was referring to when he stated that there were “very fine people, on both sides”.
Incredibly, Biden often repeats this false claim that Trump referred to Neo-nazis and white supremacists as “very fine people”, and no one in the media ever calls him out.
The media is disingenuous in their assessment when they blame all of the incivility during the debate on President Trump. Maybe their volume was turned off when Biden said to Trump: “shut up man”. And when Biden called Trump a “racist”, a “clown” and “the worst president America has ever had”. Assumedly, the media agrees with these sentiments, which justified Biden’s invectives.
Further, Biden spewed numerous inaccuracies and lies, which most in the media have ignored. Last night he disavowed the Green New Deal, yet his vice-presidential running mate, Kamala Harris, co-sponsored the Green New Deal.
Biden’s campaign website even advocates for the Green New Deal
“Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face.”
Biden was attempting to pivot from the truth-that he has united with those on the radical left. He even denied that the 110-page “Unity agreement” between Biden and Socialist Bernie Sanders existed.
If elected, Biden refused to say that he would not add more Supreme Court justices to the court. And he declined to say if he would end the filibuster for legislation. Biden would do both. The left would demand it. On the campaign trail, he has admitted that he is open to ending the filibuster.
An economic plan to restore the economy was also never articulated by Biden. The reason most likely is that Biden’s economic policies focus on income redistribution and a social justice agenda. Last night Biden admitted that he would eliminate all of the Trump tax cuts which have helped create the pre-covid thriving economy that in 2019 created the largest one year increase in median income on record.
It is also noteworthy that Biden could not name one law enforcement group that has endorsed his presidency. The reason is clear- Biden empathizes more with the protesters/rioters, who believe our country is unjust than he does with those putting their lives on the line to maintain law and order.
Biden has never condemned ANTIFA and has praised the Black Lives Matter movement. Moreover, indicating a lack of interest in restoring law and order, Biden admitted that he never contacted the leadership in any of the cities under siege by violence and riots.
Those on the left are disingenuous in their pearl-clutching over Trump’s combative performance last night. Are they forgetting that for years the mainstream media, Democratic lawmakers, and the Obama/Biden administration have actively tried to destroy his presidency by falsely accusing him of being a Russian agent, a racist, xenophobe, misogynist..etc? Yet, when Trump comes out primed for a heated fight, they are aghast?
If Biden wins the election, the Democrats hold the House as expected, along with taking the Senate, there is no holds-bar on what the left will achieve to further their radical social and economic justice agenda to transform our country.
Make no mistake. Biden is not a moderate. Sanders has asserted that Biden’s proposals will make him “…the most progressive president” in modern times.
Socialist Congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has also stated that the far-left will be able to control a Biden presidency. Ocasio-Cortez was recently quoted:
“ We can likely push Vice President Biden in a more progressive direction across policy issues.”
A weak president, who will bow to the radical-left, is far more troubling than a dominant, bellicose, take-no-prisoners president.
