Joe Biden will travel to Houston on Monday to privately meet with and offer his condolences to the family of George Floyd, whose death at the hands of police launched widespread protests across the nation, according to a Biden aide.

The former vice president will also tape a video message for Floyd's funeral service on Tuesday, but Biden is not planning to attend the service because the presumptive Democratic nominee's team did not want to cause any disruptions on Tuesday from his Secret Service protection, according to people familiar with those deliberations.

Read More"I'll seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued our country, not use them for political gain. I'll do my job and I'll take responsibility -- I won't blame others," Biden said.And during a separate speech later that week, Biden directly criticized Trump's response to the unrest across the nation, saying,"He remains completely oblivious to the human toll of his indifference.

Probably pull their black card for not promoting riots.

The people that can't see Biden is only doing this for show and votes. And he truly does not care. I feel sorry for you.

talk about a photo op! if Mr. Floyd didn't get killed by a white police officer there probably would be a not have been all these memorials & this big funeral. but go ahead JoeBiden go extend your heartfelt sympathies

White Guilt

Tacky political ploy. Totally insensitive.

The sad part is he wouldn’t know what city he was in....this is a political photo op...why isn’t the media apoplectic about this.. I know.... it has nothing to do with POTUS

I just want to thank our Police while they fight Black Racist Hatred. Black people want to force the police out of the cities and states so black people can run through the United States and rule over White people and force white people out of the USA. That,s their goal.

Now this is how a president acts

Biden needs to be replaced by Mario Cuomo a real leader

I bet he shits his Depends during the flight.

Wtf this senile old white man can’t do anything? Photo op😳

He should probably do everything privately from here until November because every time he speaks he embarrasses himself.

Good, Next President of American 👍

Bigfoot Sighting In Texas?

How opportunistic. Has he worked on his accent while in isolation blacklivesmatter cnn

How convenient that he can now come out of the basement. I hope black Americans can smell what’s cooking. They only care during an election year.

How about the families of all the police officers killed during riots? Are they not worth meeting?

Maybe he will take a knee ,a Winnie !

Does JoeBiden know that GeorgeFloyd was not the angel the left is portraying him to be? Does he know that Floyd has a long criminal history? Does he know that counterfeit 20 was likely a product of the bar where he worke with DerekChauvin as a private security guard?

Oh man, I hope they take his muzzle off. We need more memes.

Corona virus has caused dead more than 100,000. How many people have lost their lives,properties during this riot, have he ever been concerned? It doesn't matter, these won't help him get votes, only those who can help him get votes are worth his concern

JoeBiden is a WhiteLiberalClosetRacist just like the rest pushing a continuation of the Democrat Plantation agenda. BlacksWakeUp Trump2020 KAG

The big question is will he remember he went to Houston

Does Joe know that Monday is tomorrow?

The most egregiously racist politician since Lyndon Johnson. This is the best the Dems have?

Better than ignoring them

Well he explain and apologize for failing African Americans while he has been in office including 8 years as VP to with an African American President

Unnecessary police brutality is real and so is the fact that Floyd was a career criminal. Both facts can be true. Stop lionizing Floyd

GermanT61734220 'Yo solo le hubiera disparado a las rodillas'

It’s hilarious how low a bottom feeder can stoop.

We welcome you to Houston 💙💙

I hope Biden remembers who George Floyd is. And please Biden don’t tell them they ain’tblack

Will this senile degenerate meet with the thousands of families dealing with violence on a daily basis in their own neighborhoods?How about the ppl who died in the riots?No he won't,he's a fraud & he will lose.Idiots,fake news.

Oh another racist Antifa movement by lib dem to encourage terririst org Antifa and seek black votes. Pathetic you will loose like HELL so so point to promote racism and terror org like Antifa and BLM..poor sleepy Biden..

So did Biden meet, express condolences to the family of Manny Ellis who died on March 3,2020 in police arrest, handcuffed, I read he said “Can’t Breath “?

Unlike the coward in the WH 🤷‍♂️ he attacked ppl protesting JusticeForGeorgeFlyod, ignored his family and tried to use his death for his gains 🤷‍♂️ coward hiding in his BunkerTrump and it's written in history as coward.BlackLivesMatter TrumpResignNow AmericaOrTrump TrumpOut2020

Maybe he should visit the 5 other black folks families the died during the riots.

Biden has talked to the Floyd family every day and was invited to the service by them. Trump talked to a Floyd brother once, cut him off and wouldn't listen to him.

Hide the little girl.. he gonna sniff em.

Photo op?

Political stunt by the racist. Democrats feed off of tragedies.

Joe Biden: 10-15% of Americans are not good people. Coincidentally, 10-15% of protesters are violent rioters, looters, and arsonists.

Photo op? Just wait.

Somebody better remind him the family name again on Monday he might forget it by the time he arrives in Houston

This is Kolya Zlochevsky.He sends you all a fiery hello

Wait for photo op it will be fantastic. 👍

Good one Joe. Great campaign strategy. Trump's doing the same kinda shit. twinning

What out Houston a dirty old man comeing town watch is hands were he puts them hes a rapes u no

It's thanks to Politicians like Joe Biden this same George Floyd spent majority of his life getting arrested locked up.. Wakeup

Yeah, that’ll help!! The question is “Help whom?” Joe Biden? Most likely. Biden certainly won’t help the black community!! He has no track record of addressing the problem, short of throwing money at it!! He’s only made the problems worse!! No thanks Joe!!

Has anyone told him yet? (Biden I mean)

Because everything Joe does so proves he ain't white and definitely not a racist. And a big supporter of poor folk as well as white people. Gag me with a spoon. Joe is a loser

This could be a game changer for Biden over trump if he doesn't speak

What about the family of the black police captain that was killed while protecting a business? You see, democrats its all about opportunism to their benefits just like FloydMayweather paying for the funeral that was probably bidded out to the highest bidder for exposure. SICK!

I wonder if they'll talk about George's penchant for pressing pistols into the bellies of pregnant women 'Kinda kinky, I like it' - Joe Biden

SeuratCamille

Check out this live broadcast!

To privately meet and offer condolences?! You mean ask for votes 🗳 right?

A human move. A heartfelt move. A right move. ❤

Who is Joe Biden?

I dare him to go visit a black man who just was released from prison for an armed home invasion of a pregnant black woman.

He going to kiss the ring

Maybe he can get down on one knee and apologize for being WHITE!

Show time 🤗🤗🤗

BLM (leftist) need to ask Biden (like they did Minneapolis mayor) to give a straight up Yes or No answer if he would defund (abolish) police departments. No politician speak! Yes or No!

🤔 Why didn't he privately meet and personally give his condolences to Laquan McDonald's family killed by police October 2014, in Chicago 🤔 Or to Philando Castile's family killed by police in Minnesota July 2016

That is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. I can’t believe anyone could do that. We know what u want Joe

Is this also a campaign stunt🤔🤔 Yes you are willing to burn down cities just so you can win voters, the slient majority is watching..How Abt you visit all the families of the murdered young men and women of colour when you were vice president?🤔🤔 Would make more sense.

Did he visit the families of those killed by the police when he was vice president? What a hypocricy.

Before the trial, these three policemen should not be found guilty! The second autopsy report can prove that they are not wrong! Why do people ignore it!

Let them know when you wrote the Crime Bill. That will go over well.

And CNN accused Trump of photo opportunities? Doesn't take common sense to figure this out because Biden would even care to put a foot on Houston if Bernie beat him out. Looks like a political photo op for a guy. That is all campaigning is 'photo ops' I don't care who is running

Rep. Corry Booker said Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden’s defense of the 1994 crime bill’s role in mass incarcerations of blacks!

Actually, President Trump should of taken time to physically gone to be a strong presence of assurance things will change in the police departments across the nation since he can leverage his office to get those changes done but what did he do? Raised the bible - false prophet

All this for votes. Staged sympathy.

Joe Biden is the incoming USA president, Trump is very incompetent.

To all saying this is a political move... tell me, what has Trump done other than a brief and cold call to the family?

Lots of negative comments but there is one glaring ommission - where is DT? Tough getting out of his private taxpayer funded bunker? 🤔

privately! Just in case he says what's on his mind as usual you lyin' horse faced pony soldier!

“Never let a crisis go to waste” 🙄. will media repeatedly shame Biden for “photo op”

Obvious political moves like George was a saint before he died

😂😂😂pander much Joe! After what you said last week, I think your funeral schedule is going to be really full!

I predict he will not remember why he is there

Politics as usual....here we go again. My earnest prayer is that the African American community refuse to buy into this scam .

Biden: 'Despicable' for Trump to say it's a 'great day' for George FloydDemocratic presidential candidate Joe Biden reacted to Trump invoking George Floyd during a White House event on the economy as the president continues to face blistering criticism for his response to nationwide civil unrest. Dear Liberals, If you’re going to defund the police in your cities, and allow them to fall into complete chaos while criminals run wild, then PLEASE stay there and do not move into the sane parts of America and destroy those places too. We prefer law, order, & prosperity. Thanks Yeah first thing i thought was 'i'm sure George would love to be alive right now Dr.Evil' UNTIL GOOD COPS HOLD BAD COPS ACCOUNTABLE, THERE ARE NO GOOD COPS 'PERIOD'.
