I've seen about a thousand Trumpworld accounts lighting their hair on fire on here today saying that Biden accused Trump of calling neo-Nazis very fine people in his acceptance speech last night.

But... that isn't what Biden said?

Every permutation of this I've seen says Biden explicitly accused Trump of calling neo-Nazis very fine people.

Here's what Biden actually said:

It's a clear condemnation of Trump's days of equivocation about a vile and explicitly racist gathering of white nationalists. But it *isn't* a specific accusation that Trump called white nationalists "very fine people." So what gives?

I wish "Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people" wasn't the shorthand that developed for describing what happened after Charlottesville. It's arguably imprecise and lets bad-faith actors pretend the whole thing was a media nontroversy.

But it just isn't what Biden said!

One might go so far as to wonder whether the people making this argument are *actually* the semantic sticklers they make themselves out to be here!
