Fact Check: Chris Wallace Falsely Implies Trump Never Condemned White Supremacists
Joel B. Pollak29 Sep 2020
CLAIM: Debate moderator Chris Wallace implied that President Donald Trump never condemned white supremacists.
VERDICT: FALSE. President Trump has done so repeatedly, despite what Wallace — and Joe Biden — have suggested.
During the first presidential debate, Wallace challenged President Trump to condemn white supremacists. It was an astonishingly ill-informed — and inflammatory — challenge, and repeated a lie that Biden has told frequently in the campaign.
Trump has condemned white supremacists repeatedly.
