On MLK Day, Video Circulates of Biden Saying ‘Dr. King’s Assassination’ Did Not Have Worldwide Impact of George Floyd’s Death
As the United States celebrated and honored Martin Luther King Jr., video of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden surfaced comparing him to a very, very different human and scenario: the death of George Floyd.
Biden made the remarks in June of 2020, shortly after Floyd’s death, during an economic reopening roundtable in Philadelphia. Biden was comparing the two men in a discussion about how smartphones have changed movements:
“Even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden said during the discussion. “It’s just like television changed the Civil Rights movement for the better when they saw Bull Connor and his dogs ripping the clothes off of elderly black women going to church and firehoses ripping the skin off of young kids.”
“What happened to George Floyd — now you got how many people around the country, millions of cell phones,” he added. “It’s changed the way everybody’s looking at this. Look at the millions of people marching around the world.”
The circulation of the video sparked intense conversation. While some say Biden was merely comparing the impact of their deaths, others were shocked and disgusted that Biden would ever draw a comparison of any kind between the two.
“Very small minded to compare MLK to Floyd just because of the color of their skin. They were not in the same category of humans on any level” tweeted one user. Another wrote “this is truly a disgusting comment. George Floyd was no #MLK @JoeBiden !! He was a full time criminal and drug addict!”

Biden’s Email Controversy Deepens: A Saga of Aliases, Whistleblowers, and Shadowy Communications
In a bombshell revelation, new records released by the House Ways & Means Committee expose a labyrinth of email aliases and private addresses used by then-Vice President Joe Biden to communicate with his son Hunter and key business associates, according to metadata obtained from IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.
Furthermore, according to reports from Fox News, the data, covering the span of nine years from 2010 to 2019, reveals an astonishing 327 exchanges between Biden and his son, notably during Biden’s tenure as vice president.
The majority of these clandestine communications were exclusively with Eric Schwerin, a pivotal figure described as “the architect of the Biden family’s shell companies.” The emails were conducted using aliases such as “robinware456,” “JRBware,” and “RobertLPeters.” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer had previously hinted at the existence of Biden’s email aliases earlier this year.
According to reports, the whistleblowers, still actively employed as IRS investigators, ran a search for Biden’s email aliases in their existing files, revealing the 327 exchanges with Hunter Biden and Schwerin. The metadata access, however, falls short of scrutinizing email content, requiring a search warrant for deeper investigation.
Schwerin, former president of Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca Advisors, has found himself under the spotlight. In a March 2023 meeting with the House Oversight Committee, Schwerin claimed he was unaware of any transactions related to Biden family business in the then-Vice President’s bank account.
This assertion aligns with the White House narrative, pushing back against Republican scrutiny and an impeachment inquiry.
Amidst the rising scrutiny, House Oversight Committee Chairman Comer has subpoenaed Schwerin for a deposition on Nov. 9, indicating a deepening probe into the financial intricacies of the Biden family.
The data also reveals a spike in emails between Biden and Schwerin during the vice president’s travels to Ukraine, a period significantly coinciding with Hunter Biden’s board membership at Burisma Holdings.
The information underscores the increased communication between the two during crucial junctures, raising questions about the nature of their discussions and the potential intersection of official government business with family interests.
Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, spearheading the impeachment inquiry against President Biden, asserts that the evidence points to Joe Biden’s use of private email accounts with aliases while conducting official duties on international trips.
The broader investigation by Smith, alongside House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Oversight Committee Chairman Comer, delves into foreign money received by the Biden family and whether President Biden was involved in their foreign business dealings.
As the House intensifies its scrutiny, Hunter Biden’s scheduled deposition on Dec. 13 promises further revelations, with House Republicans pledging transparency by releasing the transcript and advocating for a public hearing. The saga of Biden’s emails unfolds against a backdrop of denial from the White House and Justice Department officials, creating a complex narrative.

MLK’s assassination eventually led to positive changes, George Floyd’s didn’t! Floyd’s led to the darkest days of this country, and a total reversal of MLK’s Dream!

This comes from Joe Biden who voted Against civil rights act on many occasions. He live in apartments that were WHITE ONLY, no people of color were allowed. That’s why Kamala Harris was his vp running mate and not stacy Abrams. Using Joe’s own words is because Kamala “ain’t black”

This is a huge insult to MLK’s family, an insult to those who fought for civil rights and those who fought to free the slaves. FJB and his handlers are promoting a scumbag just like themselves.
