Went like this.

Me: Too bad about the few at the capital who did bad things. Probably agitators.

Him: Yeah I kind of agree. But I just wish it never got to this point. The racist stuff Trump says doesn't help.

Me: Oh yeah... er I mean, well what racist stuff exactly?

Him: Well you know just all that stuff.

Me: No I can't think of anything... can you give me a specific example?

Him:....

Me: I need a specific example. I really want to know what he said because if he did that's terrible!

Him: well I can't think of anything right now but yeah...

Me: Can I tell you about Charlottesville?

For years the MSM has lied and intentionally misquoted Trump from his Charlottesville press conference claiming he called white supremacists "fine people", when that's not what he said at all:

He in fact condemned the white supremacists, and was talking about the other normal citizens at the protest (fine people) that either wanted the statue removed or wanted to preserve it, for valid reasons. A fine example of the Fake News misquoting or twisting his words to make people hate him.

It is never a misquote when involving Journalists. They go through multiple edits before being aired to the public. It was intentional on their part.
