Trump Urges Supporters to Visit Nonexistent Site: ‘Go to Snoops – Whatever the Hell That Is’

 

Former President Donald Trump cited a nonexistent fact-checking website to ding Vice President Kamala Harris.

The two rivals debated on Tuesday in what Trump said on Thursday will be the last debate.

During the event, Harris hit the former president on a host of subjects, including remarks he made after the infamous 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. A group of White supremacists touting tiki torches protested the removal of a statue of Confederate traitor Robert E. Lee. They chanted slogans such as “Jews will not replace us!” A counter-protestor was killed when a White supremacist gunned his car into a group of people.

“Let’s remember Charlottesville, where there was a mob of people carrying tiki torches spewing antisemitic hate,” Harris said. “And what did the president then at the time say? ‘There were fine people on each side.’”

Trump gave ambiguous remarks at the time. While he said that “the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists… should be condemned totally,” he nonetheless insisted that there were “very fine people on both sides.”

Appearing at a rally in Tucson on Thursday, Trump slammed Harris for bringing up Charlottesville. In doing so, he directed rally-goers to visit “Snopes” – the fact-checking website – and “snoops.”

“She talked about the Charlottesville hoax,” Trump said while complaining that the debate moderators did not fact-check Harris. “And these people did nothing about it, which has been totally debunked, as they say, by Snopes and snoops and everybody else. Hey, go look it up. Go to snoops, whatever the hell that is. No, I hear that’s a liberal site and they came out totally in favor of me. That’s got to be a bad thing, but they said they gave you a total phony stories.”

Trump then went on to repeat his false claim that some states allow babies to be killed after they are born.
