Obama ripped for tying George Floyd’s death to Texas school massacre
The Washington Times ^ | May 25 | By Valerie Richardson

President Barack Obama isn’t often accused of striking the wrong political chord, but it happened Wednesday when he linked George Floyd’s murder to the Texas school massacre.

The 46-year-old Floyd died two years ago Wednesday at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, an anniversary that was largely overshadowed by the horrific slaughter Tuesday of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

“As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer,” Mr. Obama tweeted. “His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.”

Among those blasting the effort to connect memorializing Floyd‘s death to the Texas schoolchildren was conservative commentator Jason Whitlock, host of the Blaze Media “Fearless” podcast.

“Let’s stand George Floyd on the dead bodies of slaughtered children. This is one of the worst tweets in history,” Mr. Whitlock tweeted.

He went on to say: “Brah, this ain’t it. Little kids slaughtered at school is not the equivalent of Floyd dying after resisting arrest while high.”

Christine Pushaw, press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, called the tweet “truly sick.”

“19 innocent children and 2 hero teachers were killed … and to the Divider-in-Chief, the real victim of Uvalde is George Floyd?” she tweeted.

Now, is that the George Floyd that was imprisoned for participating in a home invasion during which he held a gun to the abdomen of a pregnant woman?

Or, was it the George Floyd who was high on fentanyl before dying while being arrested for passing counterfeit money?

Or was this the George Floyd that was paraded around the country in a white, horse-drawn carriage as part of his funeral?

Carleton Heston said it best ... "It's a mad house!"

How degenerate is the Dem party? Half of them are jumping up and down, “Hey, great, dead kids! Now’s our chance!” and the other half “Never mind the dead kids, let’s talk about black oppression.” If your life is blind to everything but politics, this is what you get.

I guess that if you can’t align with fentanyl and counterfeit $20.00 bills, you’re just not one of the cool kids.

Yep, never. NEVER misses a chance. Never.

And then there's W doing his swaying at the funeral. Funny how Obama never mentions the BLM terrorist's actions.

The terrible Texas shooting stepped all over Obamas planned “George Floyd” anniversary boiler plate speech (and similar speeches by some of our other favorite politicians) and it forced him to improvise. He improvised poorly.
