Joe Biden has called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, moments after shocking police video was released showing an Illinois officer fatally shooting Sonya Massey after she called police fearing a home intruder.
In his first public statement since dropping his bid for re-election, Biden said the shooting of Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman, by white Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, in her home in Springfield, after a dispute over a pot of boiling water, “reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not”.
Biden, who is recovering from Covid at his home in Delaware, said Massey, “a beloved mother, friend, daughter and young Black woman … should be alive today”.
Asking who the president is is a way we assess for a traumatic brain injury. Bragging that you don’t know who’s president is an interesting take.
If asked, I definitely would have gotten it right lol
What I meant to be commenting on, and I’m sorry this wasn’t clear, was that the news has been so focused on the campaign for so long, and for the past few days on Harris of course, that when I saw this headline, my immediate reaction was, “Why do we still care? He already withdrew.”
And then, instantly, “Oh, because he’s still the president. Right. Duh. Lmao,” which was what my comment was supposed to convey. Hopefully that makes sense now
“Only someone running for president matters, not the actual president.”
