MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell took President Donald Trump‘s remarks out of context Friday — while complaining that Trump’s team had taken Joe Biden‘s remarks out of context.
Mitchell referenced the former vice president’s slip of the tongue Thursday — “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids” — as he spoke about education opportunities to an audience that was primarily Asian and Hispanic.
She complained that a tweet from the Trump campaign’s Rapid Response Director Andrew Clark left out the context of Biden’s comment. (RELATED: Biden Buckles, Flips On Hyde Amendment Under Pressure From Democrats)
And while Clark’s caption may not have included Biden’s immediate reaction — a pause and then an attempt to clarify — the video included in his tweet did.
And the other thing we should do is we should challenge these students. We should challenge students in these schools, have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. Wealthy kids, white kids, Asian kids.
But while Mitchell was complaining about Clark and others omitting the context, she defended Biden’s attacks that took Trump’s words out of context. “It comes after this confrontation between Biden and a reporter from conservative outlet Breitbart — Biden fighting back after the reporter claimed, incorrectly, Biden had misquoted the president after Charlottesville,” she said.
The Breitbart reporter in the video clip Mitchell shared confronted Biden, claiming that President Trump had very clearly condemned white supremacy, while Biden argued, as he has since he first announced his run for president, “Let’s get this straight. He said, ‘there are very fine people in both groups,’ they’re chanting anti-semitic slogans, carrying flags.”
But a look at the president’s full remarks following the unrest in Charlottesville, showed that the reporter was right, that Biden had taken Trump’s words out of context and that Mitchell had doubled down, accepting Biden’s misquote as the whole story.

PRAGER: America Is Drowning In The Left’s Lies About Trump
by Casey | Aug 12, 2019 | Blog, Conspiracy, Fake News, Media Bias
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, never said there were “fine” Nazis or Ku Klux Klansmen.
This is one of the two great lies of our time — the other being that all Trump supporters are racists — and perhaps in all of American history. I cannot think of a lie of such significance that was held as truth by so many Americans, by every leading politician of one of the two major political parties and disseminated by virtually the entire media.
The major news media need to understand these are important reasons that half of America considers them frauds. And we get no pleasure from this fact. The reason we don’t recoil when the president labels the mainstream media “fake news” is that we know the charge is true. Has one major media news outlet yet apologized to the American people for preoccupying them for nearly two years with the lie of “Trump collusion” with Russia? Has one Democrat? Of course not. Because with regard to the Trump-Russia collusion issue, the news media were never driven by a pursuit of truth; they were driven by a pursuit of Trump.
In my last column, I offered a way of proving Trump supporters are not racists. The timing was, unfortunately, perfect. I could not anticipate how two horrific mass shootings would enable the left — the press, the Democrats, academics and Hollywood — to scream even louder than before that Trump and his supporters are racists and that their racism is why such shootings are taking place.
This is all predicated on what may be the most glaring lie of all: that, after the Charlottesville demonstrations, President Trump said Nazis are “fine people.”
The president never said there were fine Nazis. The left-wing assertion that the president of the United States said there were fine Nazis will long endure as an example of something that has been true since Lenin: Truth is not a left-wing value. Truth is a liberal value, and it is a conservative value. But it is not left-wing value. A leftist says whatever is necessary to gain power.
By remarkable coincidence, this week’s PragerU video is titled “The Charlottesville Lie.” It proves the president never said Nazis were fine people. When Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides,” he was referring to people demonstrating in Charlottesville for and against tearing down a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, not to Nazis and Antifa.
The video is presented by CNN political commentator Steve Cortes, a voice of courage in the herd known as the mainstream American media. At this moment, of PragerU’s 325 videos, Cortes’s “The Charlottesville Lie” is the one I most want Americans to watch. The harm that the media and others on the left have done and continue to do to this country by charging the president with praising Nazis and other white supremacists is incalculable. It has only served to inflame and divide Americans: the tens of millions who believe the lie and the tens of millions who know the truth.
