Snopes Sides with Trump Against Biden Campaign’s False Smear in Rare Move, Enraging Leftists
< < Go Back
When liberals lose Snopes, they’re losing their minds.
The most notoriously dishonest “fact-checker” in the dishonest “fact-checker” business, Snopes has a well-earned reputation for putting a thumb firmly on the left end of the scale in rendering judgments on what should be objective disputes.
In a post published Sunday, though, Snopes took the side of former president Donald Trump — and liberals are raging.
In the article, Snopes addressed a claim by the campaign team for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that Trump had admitted to “waging an all-out war on American democracy.”
The idea is absurd on its face — that a former president running for office again would openly declare a “war on American democracy,” but such is the fantasy world of the modern left.
On almost any other day, a reader would expect Snopes to take the left’s side. But this time it ruled the claim “false”:
“To our ears, Trump unambiguously said, ‘we’ve been waging all-out war in American democracy’ (and CSPAN’s transcript reflects the same),” Snopes’ David Emery wrote.
“We did not hear, nor does the context support the claim that he said, ‘We’ve been waging an all-out war on American democracy.’ It’s clear that Trump was out to accuse his political opponents of waging war, not himself.
“Given the context, Trump likely meant to say, ‘They’ve been waging an all-out war on American democracy,’ but those weren’t the words that came out of his mouth.”
