During the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election, President Joe Biden repeated his long-standing claim that he was inspired to run for the presidency four years ago after witnessing the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017. “What got me involved around the first place after my son had died,” Biden said in response to CNN moderator Jake Tapper asking if a vote for former President Donald Trump is a vote against democracy, “…I said I wasn’t going to run again until I saw what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia—people coming out of the woods carrying swastikas on torches and singing the same anti-semitic bile they sang back in Germany.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “He said, ‘I think they’re fine people on both sides,’” Biden recounted of Trump’s response to the rally, which was known as Unite the Right and saw violent clashes between protesters and counterprotesters and led to the death of 32-year-old paralegal Heather Heyer after a man drove his car into a group of counterprotesters. “This is the guy who says Hitler’s done some good things,” Biden added, referencing a claim by Trump’s former chief of staff.
