I'm guessing this has been talked about a lot already but didn't see it easily.
I was a little surprised to see Joe Biden's announcement make Trump's "Very Fine People" on both sides the centerpiece.
Clearly, that was an awful thing to say but I thought it had been clarified.

I'm asking this primarily as it relates to Biden. Seems odd he'd choose focus on that when it seems to be a case of misspeaking.

Am I getting this wrong?“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”
After another question at that press conference, Trump became even more explicit:
“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”
