It’s a disgrace that it took seven years for Snopes, a self-proclaimed neutral fact-checker, to debunk a major falsehood peddled by liberals about former President Donald Trump. The outlet has consistently failed to correct the record on a pivotal event from Trump’s inaugural year in office. This long-overdue admission might significantly influence the upcoming presidential debate.

The lie that Snopes finally refuted is the supposed comment made by Trump in 2017 during the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia. He was falsely accused of stating there were “very fine people on both sides”. A closer look at the actual transcript of Trump’s remarks reveals he was addressing those with differing views on the fate of Confederate statues, not endorsing white supremacists or neo-Nazis. Trump merely suggested that Americans could have legitimate reasons for wanting to preserve these statues, such as maintaining historical records or opposing the destruction of cultural artifacts. Yet, Snopes only chose to rectify this misrepresentation seven years later.

The reason behind Snopes’ delay in correcting this misinformation remains unclear. They attempted to create a news angle by stating that social media posts regarding Trump’s Charlottesville comments re-emerged in spring 2024. This only further unveils the media’s bias, even when they assert impartiality. With an impending election, this revelation could indeed be consequential.

In his 2019 campaign declaration, Joe Biden used Trump’s alleged statement as a defining moment of the Trump presidency. He falsely claimed that Trump equated hate mongers with those opposing them. This assertion was untrue then, just as it was when the media initially spread it in 2017. Now, even a prominent left-leaning fact-checker like Snopes has recognized it as false. Still, this lie has been used to justify Biden’s disastrous presidency, a presidency that has been detrimental to the American people. It begs the question – what could possibly be Biden’s rationale for a second term?

Hasn’t Biden already wreaked enough havoc with his border crisis? Hasn’t he ruined the economy and triggered rampant inflation? Hasn’t he compromised global security by provoking Russian aggression and betraying one of America’s staunchest allies, Israel? It’s painfully obvious that Biden has failed in his presidential duties, and it’s high time we had someone competent at the helm.

The Charlottesville incident is just one of many lies spread about Trump, but it’s one of the easiest to debunk. And yet, it took Snopes seven years to acknowledge this. However, if voters are alert and this issue surfaces in Thursday’s presidential debate, it’s better late than never.

The liberal media’s relentless propagation of falsehoods about Trump is alarming, and it’s disconcerting that a fact-checking platform like Snopes took so long to correct this specific lie. This further underscores the media’s bias and their blatant agenda to discredit and vilify Trump at any cost.

American citizens deserve the truth, and it’s about time the media was held accountable for their deceit and manipulation. The upcoming presidential debate presents an opportunity for these lies to be exposed, allowing voters to make informed decisions based on actual facts rather than the fabricated narratives pushed by the liberal media. It’s time to reject these lies and elect a leader who genuinely prioritizes the welfare of the American people.
