Obama Slammed For Invoking George Floyd After School Tragedy: ‘One Of The Worst Tweets In History’

 The Daily Wire  "Former Democrat President Barack Obama faced backlash online Wednesday afternoon after he invoked George Floyd following the school shootings that happened on Tuesday in Texas.

"Obama’s remarks come after an 18-year-old Latino male stormed Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and opened fire on students, killing at least 19 children, before a nearby U.S. Border Patrol agent rushed into the building and killed the suspect.

"“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,” Obama tweeted. “His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.”

"Obama continued by promoting his leftist My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, which seeks to force police departments to “reimagine policing.”

"Notable responses to Obama included:

"Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire: “What in the world does the former have to do with the latter?”

"Jason Whitlock, The Blaze: “Let’s stand George Floyd on the dead bodies of slaughtered children. This is one of the worst tweets in history.”

"Harry Khachatrian, The Washington Examiner: “Innocent children gunned down in an elementary school is absolutely not comparable to a criminal being wrongly killed by police mid-arrest.”

"Kira Davis, political commentator: “Not a single grieving parent today gives a rip about what happened to Floyd or anyone right now. For crying out loud. This is not the time to be advertising for your favorite activist group. How utterly vile.”

"Harrison Fields, communications director for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL): “Despicable. Floyd had his moment, literally a summer of protest and anarchy devoted to his memory. The evil man that murdered him will spend the rest of his life in jail. Now is the time to remember the 22 innocent souls that were senselessly massacred in TX. When they go low?' ”. . .

 Biden and Obama step on Uvalde victims to remember George Floyd – HotAir

We expect more from our presidents, past and present. Joe Biden delivered a horrendous speech on Tuesday night, hours after the unspeakable happened – again. He began his speech in the mode of comforter-in-chief, as was his task at hand. Then he veered off into selfishly injecting himself into it, though as a father who has buried two children, he could have done so in a comforting way. Instead of offering hope to grieving parents and the community, he spoke about the depths of grief. Then he turned into angry old man Joe and raised his voice against Republicans, further dividing the country he pledged to unify.
