President Trump retweeted a video Friday of right-wing commentators Glenn Beck and Candace Owens attacking the reputation of George Floyd.
The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me, Owens told Beck in the footage. George Floyd was not a good person.
As mass protests rocked the nation for yet another day, the Trump retweet amplified the message to a worldwide audience and his 81.8 million Twitter followers.
Beck and Owens then delved into Floyds lengthy criminal record, which included time behind bars. Floyds autopsy report revealed he had both fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death.

Nope. Not by a long shot
But one tweet one misstatement can cost us dearly.
Surely you know the environment of which I speak
We can think what we think but we cant always say what we think and I dont like it any better than you
But after yesterdays touchdowns sometimes we just need to play prevent defense
The left is giving us plenty of ammunition dont put a gun to your own head
Regards
I know pal. It's so hard to take. But God warned us these terrible days would come:
The man was denied due process under the law.
Groveling on your knees is not due process of law. In fact it is part of the anti-due process of law witch hunt problem, and we have precedent for that in all those false confessions that were extorted from accused witches in the Middle Ages attempting to bargain to minimize the torments to be inflicted by the witchfinders at the bidding of the mobs.
Floyd was no saint, but he was our canary, because if we do not defend the right to due process (which he was denied), his fate can just as easily be any one of ours, especially with the social justice mob defining good vs evil.
“she did not ‘attack’ Floyd.”
Right. I saw it more like her attacking low-IQ racist rabble rousers. They chose a dreadfully flawed criminal as an icon for their terrorism.
Trump off message again. THIS is why Biden is beating him.
I guess some people want to lose.

Sorry, but I disagree, since you are not POTUS.
Your opinion is less informed than his.
His track record isn't perfect, but amazing.
Do as you wish FRiend.
I'm going to continue to trust the man in the arena.
The enemy is Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
Much deeper than that. You can include the Democrats who pander and lie to black people for votes and power. How about the black leaders of these cities who allow the ghettos to become third world countries and keep them that way to remind the blacks how bad they have it and blame whitey.
Are you pretending to be illiterate?
“And I thought I was being gutsy sending Candace Owens video via email to a 100 or so family and friends”
And you WERE! Candace’s logic is the kind of logic that can’t help but make people stop and think. The may not agree in the end, but they will think.
“On April 29, 2024, Candace Owens turns 35.”
She as much as said she plans to run for President. She and her husband did an interview at Liberty College during their honeymoon. She said that’s the reason they settled in the DC area.
“Where is the body-cam tape? Why haven’t we seen that yet?”
Also, there should be audio, which hasn’t been made public yet. Why?
He wasn’t denied ‘due process’ that is even now taking place. He was denied timely medical care, probably because the officers thought him a malingerer (in the true sense of that word) and that is the true crime here.
I think A_Former_Democrat is in the mindset that most of us have been in forever as to how the game of politics is played. It used to be “My friend across the aisle” crap. And never defending against attacks, GWB style. And being gentlemanly and polite.
Trump ended that — thank GOD! But it might be hard for some to re-adjust to ... I hate this phrase, but ... “the new normal”. The TRUMP new normal. I, for one, love it. This is war, and we have ZERO friends “across the aisle”. It’s a fight to the death and there’s no time to be polite.
And here’s the same in King James:
II Timothy 3:1-5
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
“THIS is why Biden is beating him.”
That’s so funny. And tell us why Hillary was beating him, per the polls?
If either the body-cam or audio reinforced the image of the cop knee-ing Floyd, you can bet both would have been put into the public view by this time. I’m thinking that Floyd was experiencing the effects of the drug cocktail that he had in his system and the cops had their hands full.
Yup. You could be right. I figure someone knows the exact truth, but maybe the public never will know. Lots of questionable acts on both sides, probably.
Three cops standing around, one cop with his knee to his throat as opposed to getting him off the ground quickly as per procedure. He was sitting in a car being high. His crime was trying to buy something with a counterfeit bill.
Yes, the policemen involved are being prosecuted now but that doesnt do Floyd any good.
And no, I am totally not ok with mobs descending on the president whose initial response was the right one in condemning the circumstances involved in Floyds death. Progressive rule caused this death and now the progressives are trying to tell everyone else what they are allegedly doing wrong in order to try to cover up their own culpability... again.
The TRUMP new normal. I, for one, love it. This is war, and we have ZERO friends across the aisle. Its a fight to the death and theres no time to be polite.
Bingo, the left can lie, distort, harass, and nary a word. The Donald stands there and tells the truth, even when it looks like a quieter approach may work.
He’s after the bigger picture here. Let Justice prevail for George, but George was not a Saint. Multiple arrest, jail time etc....
Not exactly your role model for the virtuous....
