On the campaign trail in June 2020, President Joe Biden claimed that Martin Luther King Jr.’s death did not make as much of an impact as the death of George Floyd.
“Even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden said during a campaign event on June 11, 2020.

In some ways China Jo is correct....but for the wrong reasons.
Certainly caused more damage and ill effects...
#FJB!
Wow. He has really declined in the last 18 months.
Joe could sell a full calendar with “Dumb **** Joe Biden said on this date”
For sure Biden should thank his lucky stars that he had George Floyd to exploit for about five months.
There was a major similarity. Both Biden voters.
The Left is clearly done with MLK’s message anyway. There wast enough rage or sheer hatred to match their current MO.
MLK’s death got machine guns set up on the Capitol Steps in Washington DC.
Even “the worst riot in American History!” according to democrats on Jam 6 failed to have that.

confusing, he said, ‘CHARACTER IS ON THE BALLOT HERE.” What he meant to say, COLOR is on the ballot here.
So will he declare a national holiday for GF?

Sure, probably pick January 15th since no one of any importance is using that one anyway.
There was nothing positive about the life and death of George Floyd. Yet he has been held up as some of “martyr” - for what, exactly?
MLK, on the other hand, had a very positive message, that for many, was not well received while he lived. But in his very real martyr’s death, his principles gained much more authority and acceptance among Americans, until an executive decision by certain malign power brokers decided to censor and cancel that authority and acceptance, and they rewrote history to claim MLK was a “Communist”. He was nothing of the sort, but much more in the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi, an anti-colonist who was instrumental in breaking the nation of India out of its bondage to the British Empire.
MLK sought but the same for the descendants of the African slaves who had tried for years to gain parity with their fellow countrymen, but were stymied by a pervasive prejudice that seemed to run deep in the society. Thanks to his efforts, the former scorn of the Americans of African descent has turned to a nearly full acceptance and even some degree of admiration except within the Democrat Socialist party, who is still running the soft prejudice of low expectations and calling upon a societal ill that has been largely made moot in the past five or six decades.
Affirmative action has not been the friend of Americans of African descent, but has served to brand the recipients of that false benefit as somehow less competent and overly compensated for shoddy performance.
You’d have an entry — at least — for every day of the year.
floyd's death though did set off a groundswell of violence and mayhem across the country we're still feeling today. it accelerated DIE and set race relations back 100 years.
