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.

Finally came out of his basement. Wouldn’t it be something if the elderly rats come down with the corona after pandering on the streets the last fee days. At least Trump ordered enough ventilators.

President mentioned his phone call with Floyd’s family in the best speech ever that PDJT delivered at Cape Canaveral. Most media did not even broadcast it.

Joe’s campaign song should be:
You’re to good be true
Can’t keep my hands offa you
You feel like heaven to touch
By the way where’s my crutch.?

They knew the gaffes wouldn’t help and the Democrats have a terrible record with televised funerals.

I saw pictures of two family visits. Gov. Abbot was with Floyd’s immediate family, about eight people. Biden was with one of Floyd’s uncles and four politicians. Unless Biden had another meeting, is meeting with ONE uncle really ... meeting with THE family? Who cares, anyway.

For some reason the headline made me think of Kenny Rogers.

“Contender” implies that he actually has a chance though...

I'm sure that call was recorded and others heard it...

Soon DJT will answer...but he will wait a decent time to do so out of respect of a recent funeral...

I'm glad DJT did not attend...it was total showboating and carried to far...jmo. I avoided it completely...simply because of Al Sharpton is a fraud...
