Biden: 'Despicable' for Trump to put words in George Floyd's mouth
The Hill ^ | 06 05 2020 | Tal Axelrod

Posted on 06/05/2020 1:55:50 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former Vice President Joe Biden tore into President Trump for saying economic gains reported Friday marked a "great day for equality" and a "great day" for George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed in police custody in Minneapolis.

“George Floyd’s last words — ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe’ — have echoed across our nation,” Biden said in a speech Friday, referring to bystander video that went viral showing Floyd being pinned down by his neck before he died. “For the president to try to put any other words in the mouth of George Floyd — is frankly despicable.

“And, the fact that he did so on a day when black unemployment rose and black youth unemployment skyrocketed — tells you everything you need to know about who this man is and what he cares about.”

YES, much better to use his dying words for fundraising purposes, right Joe?

Joe you use that word a lot. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

That’s really funny coming from a guy who’s handlers put literally ALL of the words in HIS mouth. That’s when he can remember to stick to his script.

and a "great day" for George Floyd

I doubt that's what Trump said, or it is being taken way out of context.

Trump has been nothing but on point and completely appalled by what happed to George Flynn. He spoke quickly and clearly. This shows once again, the mob will radically attack you no matter what you say or do. They are evil incarnate. Satan’s children.

Biden’s back to “you ain’t black if you’re not for me.”

News to Biden: you doesn’t own black people.

As for the Afro-Jamaican, what the hell does she know about our country’s history of race. Slavery was ended peacefully in her country. Not by a civil war. Not with the loss of life and the sectional as well as racial animosities. There’s a lot of complexity to this history and we don’t need sanctimonious and one-sided judgments.

They (the left) do not want President Trump using Floyd’s name because they want to paint the President as unsympathetic.

Well up yours Lying Biden and cameltoe Harris. Your saint and martyr was a drug addict and that’s what killed him. He was also a porn actor and serial criminal.

Has someone told Biden that Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis, MN policeman and that Minneapolis has been governed by Democrats for decades? MN has a democrat governor, democrat Senators, the Minneapolis City Council is all democrat save one Greenie. So the death at the hands (knee) of a Minneapolis policeman is somehow on Trump and the Republicans?

was Biden in a kneeling position at the time he said that?

We know that Harris likes the kneeling position as well.

Biden was able to say those words cohesively? Doubtful....

Can someone find video of him blabbering? I’d bet he butchered the teleprompter and started blabbering incoherently at some point.

At least he was quotes accurately. I realize Trump felt the need to work Floyd in there somewhere but his comment didn't make a lot of sense. And I think using Floyd too much will come back to bite both campaigns.

But apparently it wasn’t despicable for Biden to use his words as a fundraising opportunity.
