Last week, Joe Biden was officially nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate at the Democratic National Convention.
The former vice president regurgitated the falsehood that President Donald Trump called white supremacists "Very fine people" at the controversial Charlottesville, Virginia, protest of 2017.
"You remember what the president said when asked? He said there were quote, 'very fine people on both sides.'".
Biden is implying that the Trump presidency is an agent for racism and anyone not working to get rid of it is complicit.
Is Joe Biden lying about President Trump to win votes?
"According to a transcript of a press conference on 15 August, President Trump did say - when asked about the presence of neo-Nazis at the rally - 'you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides,'" the report said.
In an attempt to paint Trump as one who stokes racial animosity, Biden and the Democratic Party have perpetuated dishonest rhetoric to further divide the American people.
