President Biden and Vice President Harris spoke Tuesday evening following the Derek Chauvin verdict, and we have to give Biden credit for throwing so many of his supporters under the bus:
Biden condemns "agitators and extremists" who "exploit" the "emotions of the moment" who have "not interest in social justice."

Harris, who spoke first, reminded us that we’re all part of George Floyd’s legacy and it’s now our job to honor him:

Biden followed up by saying we must confront head-on systemic racism in the justice system:
BIDEN calls for "agknowleging and confronting head on — systemic racism and the racial disparities that exist in policing and the justice system more broadly"

Wasn’t he the author of the 94 crime bill ?

Author of 1994 Law Enforcement Act

He literally wrote the bill

So the guy who wrote and voted for legislation for how government has been run for 48 years says the system he built is systematically racist. ??♂️ pic.twitter.com/MyuHdvkD3M

The irony of a politician who championed segregation and authored the crime bill now lecturing on “systemic” racism is pretty something.

Didn't he say something about a "racial jungle "?
— Starr5775 (@SusanHallberg11) April 20, 2021
Yes he did
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 20, 2021
Who fought against integration because it would be a racial "jungle" for his kids.

Joe Biden pushing a narrative of America as a racist dystopia and daily horror show for black Americans, saying that they can’t live their lives or walk down the street for fear of killing by law enforcement.

So crazy… I do not recognize his version of reality. It’s like it’s 1952 in his mind. It’s really sad.

Under Biden it will quickly become a racist dystopia for all Americans – self fulfilling

Critical Race Theory pushes the same narrative, now in public schools across the nation. God help us #Marxism

After the recent comments by some of our "leaders", our law enforcement are the one that will be living in fear of being killed.
— Mitzi Cole (@mitzicole4150) April 20, 2021
Politicians like Biden and Pelosi have structured their lives so they never see people like George Floyd. And then from behind their armed guards and high gates they lecture the police who must do it every day.

And his @VP is the one who killed police reform
— PhillyB (@PhillyBrad) April 20, 2021
Yep:
Helpful reminder that Kamala Harris voted to block the Senate from even DEBATING bipartisan police reform legislation last year — a bill that included her own anti-lynching legislation.
There isn't a single Senate Democrat with credibility on this issue. https://t.co/p8Z6LsymYX

Biden’s been in D.C. forever — he knows he is the system, right?
