Presidential Contender Joe Biden Met With George Floyd’s Family at Houston Restaurant Lucille’s
Eater Houston ^ | June 9, 2020 | Amy McCarthy

“We are completely filled with gratitude and honored to have been selected to host Vice President Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, and the Floyd family for this historic meeting,” Williams said in a statement provided to Eater. “It’s unfortunate that Floyd’s death was the catalyst for this meeting, but we are so inspired by the Floyd family’s resilience are hopeful that this meeting continues to advance the mission of justice for George Floyd.”

According to National Public Radio, Biden did not attend the actual funeral because of concerns about his Secret Service detail causing a “distraction.” Hundreds of Houstonians lined up in the heat to say their goodbyes to Floyd, who attended high school in Houston and was involved with the city’s illustrious rap scene.

I feel sorry for the dead guy’s family. The pain of mourning a loved one is exacerbated by having to endure a meeting from a pandering, senile old guy.

They tried to put a chip in his brain but it shorted out.

The painting of Floyd with a halo and angel’s wings was particularly touching /sarc

So sad for the family.

Innocent George’s GoFundMe account has gotten nearly 500k donations and is up to nearly $13 million. The campaign has gone global, getting donations from 125 countries.

“Wow. Just wow.

Cue the folks who lecture “repubs must reach out to the black community.”.

But according to Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd, the conversation did not go well, as he said Trump gave him little chance to express his views and appeared to have no interest in what he was trying to say.

“He didn’t give me an opportunity to even speak,” Floyd told MSNBC on Saturday. “It was hard. I was trying to talk to him, but he just kept, like, pushing me off, like ‘I don’t want to hear what you’re talking about.’

“And I just told him, I want justice. I said that I couldn’t believe that they committed a modern-day lynching in broad daylight.”

I’m calling total BS. What a lying attention whore. But he’s a Democrat, like I’d expect anything else.

Which funeral? It would have caused a security nightmare and made it about the President. Why bring more stress?

No, the phone call was better.

“I wonder why they didn’t meet at Popeye’s?”

Because Biden wasn’t treating!
