“Unlike most, you must grieve in public and it’s a burden. A burden that is now your purpose to change the world for the better, in the name of George Floyd,” the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said via a video message.

“Looking through your eyes, we should also be asking ourselves why the answer is so often too cruel and painful,” he added. “Why, in this nation, do too many black Americans wake up knowing that they could lose their life in the course of just living their life?

Why did he give a video message, when he was there in person? Why didn’t he speak in person?

is this an indication that Joe has trouble with public speaking nowadays?

The official reason was that his Secret Service detail might trigger some of the mourners.

“Why didn’t he speak in person?”

TAKE 1: “No, Joe, don’t say, ‘George Foreman.’”

TAKE 2: “No, Joe, don’t say, ‘Pink Floyd.’”

TAKE 3: “Dammit, Joe, I SAID don’t say, ‘Pink Floyd!’”

TAKE 37: “Aw, thehellwithit, let’s just start splicing...”

One can only imagine the hours the video editor must have had to put in to splice together a semi-coherent sounding speech by Biden.
