I have a good one. Here's the "fine people hoax" where he very specifically denounces white supremacists. Joe's entire campaign was started on a lie. You're being lied to by the press about nearly everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WWoXwUIywQ

Second part of the quote which you have not heard so far: "And I'm not talking about the neo-nazis and white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally."

That's not a citation. That links to an alex Jones styled YouTube channel with breathless conspiratorial text superimposed over cherry pickedclips of what appears to broadcast tv, however their origin and veracity is as suspect as the person running the account.

Trump has never said: "I condemn white supremacists". Four words. Dead simple.

Here I'll say it. I condemn white supremacists. I condemn white supremacy. Your turn.

Saying they should be condemned is different.

Search: trump condemns white supremacists 20 times. It’s a video showing a lot of them and not even all.
