Too many Americans fell for the “very fine people” hoax.
Former President Joe Biden used the lie, a narrative nurtured by the corrupt press against Donald Trump, in his 2020 presidential announcement. Other Democrats did the same over the past few years, including former President Barack Obama as recently as last October.
The media never corrected him, either.
That’s even though the truth is widely available online, and even the liberal “fact-checker” site Snopes admitted President Donald Trump never called neo-Nazis “very fine people” – seven years after the fact.
He did just the opposite, but reporters loved the lie too much to admit the truth.
Some sober progressives, like actor Michael Rapaport, fumed after learning they had been misled. And, to his credit, Rapaport publicly apologized to set the record straight.
Not Hannah Einbinder.
The Jewish co-star of HBO’s critically acclaimed “Hacks” used the lie in a Human Rights Campaign speech aimed at attacking Israel, the U.S. government, Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
“Mahmoud Khalil standing alongside both Palestinians and many Jewish students, calling for the Israeli army to stop dropping bombs on his homeland, does not make me feel unsafe,” she added. “Elon Musk and Steve Bannon heiling Hitler does. Donald Trump calling a group of white nationalists with Tiki torches shouting, ‘Jews will not replace us’ ‘very fine people’ does.”
The latter is a lie. Suggesting Musk and Bannon are Nazis is preposterous.
She wasn’t finished.
“As a queer person, as a Jewish person and as an American, I am horrified by the Israeli government’s massacre of well over 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza.”
The irony? Einbinder is queer, and the Palestinian government would treat her rather poorly if she were suddenly deposited in Gaza.
Consensual same-sex sexual conduct continued to be banned in Gaza on the basis of a 1936 British Mandate ordinance.
In September, after the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) published guidance to staff regarding treating all genders and LGBTI people equally, the Hamas authorities condemned the guidance for promoting “deviance and moral decay”.

She also slammed Israel for defending itself against a terrorist government, Hamas, that killed 1,200 innocents on Oct. 7 and kidnapped hundreds more. Some of those hostages, including children, were killed in captivity. Others remain in Hamas’ clutches.
Hamas’ sexual savagery against women fueled the 2024 documentary “Screams Before Silence.”
“I am ashamed and infuriated that this mass murder is funded by our American tax dollars. It should not be controversial to say that we should all be against murdering civilians.”
If Einbinder mentioned the Israeli hostages The Hollywood Reporter account failed to mention it.
The star appeared at the March 22 event to pick up the HRC’s Visibility Award for “expanding LGBTQ+ representation on- and offscreen.”
“Hacks” returns for its fourth season April 10 on Max.
