ICYMI – Well, everyone, you might want to sit down for this one because it’s a doozy. Longtime Trump critic and comedian Michael Rapaport has had a change of heart. Rapaport, known for his roles in “Friends,” “Chappelle’s Show,” and “My Name Is Earl,” and even more so for his profanity-laden rants about Trump, confessed on the Patrick Bet-David podcast that the mainstream media lied about Trump’s infamous “very fine people” comment.
For those who need a refresher, this refers to a press conference Trump gave following the Charlottesville protests, where he was accused of calling Nazi extremists “very fine people.” This narrative has been peddled by Trump’s critics, including Rapaport, who once referred to the former president as “d**kstain Donald” and a “dumb motherfu**er.”
However, Rapaport admitted, “Because I will acknowledge that one thing about the Charlottesville that I ranted about. And I was wrong about the both sides thing,” Rapaport said. “No, because he said the both sides, you know, there’s good people on both sides. And when you see the full quote, that wasn’t what he said,” he continued. “And you know, I ranted on him hard for that. Hard. There’s some video about it, whatever. I mean, I ranted hard because I was like, what are you talking about, man?”
In actuality, during that press conference, Trump condemned extremists, stating that they need to be “condemned totally.” He also noted that some people were simply there to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee and did not engage in any violence, nor did they have affiliation with any extremist groups. He further pointed out that far-left activists were present and engaged in violence, a fact that was well-documented but largely ignored by mainstream media outlets.
Rapaport’s admission is not only significant because he was one of Trump’s most vocal critics, but also because he represents a growing number of people who are becoming disillusioned with the Democratic Party. “If it comes down to Pig D*** Donald Trump and Smokin’ Joe Biden… I’m sorry. I am sorry. Voting for Pig D*** Donald Trump is on the table,” Rapaport said in a video statement back in November. “I’m sorry! I’m f****** sorry. I’ll still call him Slob D*** Donald Trump, Pig D*** Donald Trump and all that. But we need to get this whole f****** situation under control.”
So there you have it, folks. Rapaport’s about-face is a testament to the power of truth, even in today’s highly polarized political landscape. It’s a stark reminder that narratives can and do change, and that it’s never too late to admit when you’re wrong.
