Stevie Wonder: ‘I know Joe Biden’ will ‘give us reparations’
Musician Stevie Wonder has said he expects that former Vice President Joe Biden, whom he supports, will be the person to make reparations for slavery happen if he wins the presidential election, according to The Washington Times. Wonder was speaking in Detroit, Michigan at a drive-in rally for Biden on Saturday.
“I’ll tell you what you could do better than [a Juneteenth holiday],” the legendary musician said. “I know Joe Biden will do it. Give us reparations.”
A wave of honks and cheers then rang from the attendees in their vehicles.
“For the work we’ve all done over the past 400 years — unpaid,” he then added.
“We must vote justice in and injustice out,” he also said at the event.
Referencing Biden’s running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Wonder told the crowd: “Vote like you know that Biden and Harris are the only choice for a chance to bring this country back together.”
“Put the future in your hands, not in the hands of fate,” he continued.

Biden’s 60 Minutes Interview Horrifies White House: ‘Does NOT Reflect the OFFICIAL Position’
Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.
60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:
“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.
PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"
BIDEN: "Yes."
(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:
60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"
Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."
60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"
Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"
60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”
Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

60 Min: "Are you committed to running again?"
Biden: "My intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” pic.twitter.com/3R3W3I8e9Z
