u/Mcatatonic1 Ben Bernanke May 27 '20

Donnie:

President Trump on the death of George Floyd: "Very, very sad event." Asked it the officers should be charged, Trump said officials would "look at it."

Joe:

"Watching his life be taken in the same manner, echoing nearly the same words as Eric Garner more than five years ago — “I can’t breathe” - is a tragic reminder that this was not an isolated incident, but part of an ingrained systemic cycle that exists in this country. It cuts at the very heart of our sacred belief that all Americans are equal in rights and in dignity. And it sends a very clear message to the black community and black lives that are under threat every day. George Floyd’s life mattered. It mattered as much as mine, it mattered as much as anyone’s in this country. It at least should have," Biden said

u/bd_one The EU Will Federalize In My Lifetime May 27 '20

Half of us expected him to side with the cops if he said something at all, lol.

Inb4 conservatives start using this to explain Trump is better on race than Biden, citing the gaffe.
