This narrative has been repeated countless times and has likely been debunked if you\u2019ve taken the time to look into it. While discussing the infamous \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, Harris accused former President Donald Trump of endorsing a group of white supremacists who ultimately killed a counter-protester. In reference to Trump\u2019s response to this tragedy, she stated: \u201cWhat did the president then say? \u2018There were fine people on each side.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a debate where moderators rigorously fact-checked Trump at every turn, it was surprising that they didn\u2019t challenge Harris on this point. Perhaps they felt it had already been thoroughly addressed by others and that her comments reflected desperation.

One self-identified white supremacist drove his car into a crowd, resulting in one death and numerous injuries.<\/p>\n<p>During his media briefing about these events, Trump remarked there were \u201cvery fine people on both sides,\u201d specifically referring to those who believed they were attending to protest against removing the statue. He clarified: &#8220;You had people in that group&#8230; who were there to protest taking down what they considered an important statue.&#8221; However, he condemned neo-Nazis and white nationalists outright.<\/p>\n<p>Now more than seven years after Charlottesville, Kamala Harris invoked \u201cvery fine people\u201d once again while simultaneously labeling nearly everything her opponent said as false\u2014often without providing evidence for her claims.
