One pollster’s explanation for why the polls got it wrong

It's been three years, can we please stop repeating this lie? Trump has disavowed white supremacists clearly and repeatedly, and the claim that he called them "fine people" is not true. Let me say that again: it's wrong. This is not ambiguous: it would have taken you a single Google search to find out that when Trump talked about "fine people" at Charlottesville he explicitly said that he wasn't talking about the white supremacists and neo-Nazis and that those people should be "condemned totally." And that's just one of countless times that he's condemned white supremacists and distanced himself from them.

The media repeats this easily-debunkable falsehood again and again and again and again, people like you fall for it, and then they have the nerve to tell us that it's only the Right who engage in "misinformation".

Yea... it's so weird how Trump keeps making these, at best, ambiguous statements where he has to explain later - sometimes days later, sometimes never - what he really meant. And really weird that, during that time, neo-nazis, white supremacists, white nationals, and other groups earnestly quote those statements and publicly support him. But I guess the weirdest part is actually anyone who holds Trump accountable for those statements. /s
