But that definition of the Charlottesville theme used by Biden is a media manufactured theme, invented by the media talking heads misquoting what Trump actually said about the violent events there.
The “racist” theme against Trump actually began earlier, in Congress, in the Senate in the attempts (false accusations) to deny confirmation of Sessions as AG. They did not care that at the end of the day Sessions was going to win confirmation. Their bigger victory they knew the media would help them obtain, which was hanging a big “racist” bruise on Sessions, knowing it would be transferred to Trump for having nominated him.
Trump addresses City Club; members of Mexican community protest (06/29/2015)
But the truth according to Trump has raised the ire of many offended by his claim that border crossing Mexican immigrants are "bringing drugs, bringing crime, they're rapists."
"That is so disgusting, and to hear those words from a presidential candidate. Oh my goodness, that hurts so much," said Javier Salas, a protester.
"I still can't believe he had the audacity to say that about Mexican people when obviously he has so many Mexican people working for him," said Kimberly Yanez, a protester.
Roughly 100 protestors gathered across the street while Trump, in his speech, said at least a half dozen times that he loves the Mexican people, but our border is a sieve, and that to correct that, he would build a great wall and have the Mexican government pay for it.
"I love the Mexican people, but no apology, because everything I said is 100 percent correct. All you have to do is read the newspapers," Trump said.:
The "protestor" named Javier Salas mentioned here is an Illinois activist and politician associated with Unavision who had organized a large pro-immigrant March in Chicago in 2006 and was a moving force behind Dick Durbin's promotion of the Dream Act. Kimberly Kristel Yanez is a radio celebrity with the Spanish Broadcasting System in Chicago. These were not randomly selected "protestors".
Following this, the racist theme was taken up by left-wing protestors of Trump, particularly by supporters of illegal immigration and by the Muslim lobby, including the ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt, a Clinton/Obama/Soros ally. It was then borrowed by the Clinton campaign after Trump pulled ahead in the Republican primaries, after Bill Clinton warned Hillary that she should not listen to advisors who were underestimating Trump and "that Mr. Trump clearly had a keen sense of the electorate’s mood and that only a concerted campaign portraying him as dangerous and bigoted would win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election": The Anti-Israeli Clintonistas behind the Trump KKK/Nazi Smear Campaign. It was in the week after Bill Clinton advised this that the ADL and CNN's Jake Tapper launched a campaign trying to tie Trump to David Duke.
Prior to this, the media had not portrayed Trump as a racist throughout his career. Oprah Winfrey had pushed a Trump Presidential campaign during an interview with Trump in 1988, and Trump had floated Oprah as his potential VP in 2000. He also opposed Pat Buchanan's faction of the Reform Party in 2000, and left the party stating, "The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a Communist, Ms. Fulani. . .This is not company I wish to keep."
