Washington Plans are being discussed for former Vice President Joe Biden to attend the funeral services for George Floyd next Tuesday in Houston, but the arrangements have not been finalized, according to a person familiar with the matter.
A Biden campaign spokesman on Tuesday declined to comment on whether there were plans to attend the funeral. An attorney for Floyd's family, Ben Crump, said Tuesday,"We understand that Vice President Biden will be in attendance." CNN has reached out directly to Crump for comment.
This would be a nothing more than a photo op
I think what the family wants is justice, the pain is seeing those that cause innocent lives to be taking is giving life to the protest. Attending the funeral might not be different from taking a picture in front of the church. Biden can join press for justice
Hypocrisy
Meh
YouAintBlackBiden who spent 40 yrs in government & 8 yrs as VP has done nothing for people of color. Liberals are the most vile & hypocitical people. The real racists w/their prejudices of low expectations & their faux virtue signaling. Pathetic!🤦🏽♀️
Plan should include setting the alarm clock
Will you attend David Dorn’s funeral, Joe? Oh wait, guess not since your supporters are providing bail money for looters. I wish somebody would have the balls to dominate these criminals, the murderers, the looters, the arsonists. They are haters and cop killers.
Will Biden also be attending the funerals of people killed the last several days, by rioters, including innocent citizens and police officers?
Bad move
The youth is being played right now paid for by the former people in charge Hillary and crew to sway this young crowd and others over to vote against Trump. Period. It's diversion and power swaying your vote as a war.
Photo OP
And are tax dollars are paying for his trip
Please tell me he isn't going to speak! No telling what he might say, seriously, where are his caretakers? Trump2020
What right does he have to go to this. He’s been in office for over 40 years. Was a contributor to most of the laws that hurt the black communities. Some one please explain what good he is going to make? Again the black community becomes his puppet to get votes. Shameful
Do they want him in Houston?
Needs the photo op.
'Elections'
May there be many children that he can sniff. Perhaps he will let them stroke his hairy legs.
Please don't do it for a 'photo op.'
No doubt joebiden's attendance will result in another Wellstone Funeral.
So Joe has been in politics for 40+ years AND now he has the answers? ROTFLOL!
Please kindly view stay tuned to the bin bang Africa
Pure political BS. Why isn't CNN showing the other side of George Floyd? The one who committed a home invasion and held a gun to a pregnant woman's head? Or his armed robbery of a store?
Nothing like politicizing a tragedy. Total BS, he didn't know George Floyd. Can't the poor family heal? They think this will help? I would say keep all politicians away.
Time to pander, sleepy Joe
Will this be labeled a photo op? truthUdontwant MediaLies
Lol that's like sending a pickel to a cigar store...lol
But HE'S NOT the one seeking justice for George Floyd. Attorney General William Barr and the FBI are seeking justice in the court system. AG Barr is also seeking civil rights charges Actions speak LOUDER than empty motions. WHOSE REALLY DOING MORE IN THIS?
I would ask the family not to politicise the funeral by having Biden attend. The indignation of how he died is the only thing we're all unified about right now. Don't throw that away...
