Accountability
Some people are criticizing President Biden for calling the family of George Floyd to say that he was âpraying for the right outcomeâ before the verdict on Derek Chauvin was in.
To me, this is another example of the empathy and compassion that Biden brings to the office.
Itâs ridiculous to claim that his call could have influenced the outcome of the trial, though. The jury was already deliberating and couldnât have known about his call.
Twice-impeached, former President Trump did much worse, of course. He constantly tweeted during the criminal trial of his friend Roger Stone. He advocated for Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher before his trial was over. He tried to get the FBI to drop its investigation into his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
