Biden opened his campaign with an endorsement of the liberal fascists Antifa and a lie about what Trump said at Charlottesville

Jeffrey Lord:

Well, that didn’t take long.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, well known for his gaffes, announced for president — and immediately stepped in it.

Looking into the camera — with a prepared script no less — Biden said this of the violence in Charlottesville in 2017:

Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation in the last few years. It was there on August of 2017 we saw Klansmen and white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in the open, their crazed faces illuminated by torches, veins bulging, and bearing the fangs of racism. Chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the ’30s. And they were met by a courageous group of Americans, and a violent clash ensued and a brave young woman lost her life.

Yes, indeed, there were Klansmen, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis there. But they were not “met by a courageous group of Americans.” They were met by an equally violent prone group — the masked hoodlums of the notoriously violent and far-left Antifa.
...
One could go on — and on and on — with examples of Antifa violence. It was on vivid display in Charlottesville, along with the violence of the supporters of the Klan and the neo-Nazis.

All of them were hoodlums. President Trump’s remarks on Charlottesville are routinely misrepresented as endorsing those who were on the “right” — and saying there were “fine people” on both sides. He was speaking, of course, of those peaceful protesters who came to peacefully support or oppose the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. He was not speaking about the others who quite clearly came to Charlottesville to spew their hatred and were looking for violence.

Antifa, with a long, documented reputation for violence, showed up to meet violence with violence. The difference here is that Biden, knowing full well what Antifa represents, went out of his way to call them “a courageous group of Americans” anyway.
...

The Democrats embrace of liberal fascism should not be allowed to go uncriticized.  This group is probably bigger and more active than the neo-Nazis and the KKK and they are certainly attempting to suppress the First Amendment rights of Trump supporters.  There is something sick about the Democrats refusal to actively condemn them and about leading candidates for the nomination like Biden praising them.
