As the nation pauses to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a video of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden saying George Floyd's death had a greater global impact than the assassination of Dr. King is recirculating and drawing criticism.

Biden made the comments in June of 2020 during an economic reopening roundtable in Philadelphia, weeks after Floyd's death. During the discussion, Biden was explaining how smartphones have mobilized people all over the world to participate in the movement against police brutality.

"Even Dr. King's assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd's death did," Biden said during the discussion. "It's just like television changed the Civil Rights movement for the better when they saw Bull Connor and his dogs ripping the clothes off of elderly black women going to church and firehoses ripping the skin off of young kids."

"What happened to George Floyd — now you got how many people around the country, millions of cell

phones," he added. "It's changed the way everybody's looking at this. Look at the millions of people marching around the world."

The video was reposted on various social media platforms Monday, many again criticizing Biden's comments. Some called the remarks "disgusting," others expressed shock over the comparison.

Biden, democrats are the racist. Remember pert neer everything they accuse others of, the are doing.  Sad so many who called Trump a lair, con, dictator don't see that is what Biden, Pelosi and democrat are.

Oh, they see it and know it, they just don't care because it's Biden. They know what he does around little girls too, and they just look the other way.

I'd appreciate any kind of example you'd like to give... because, Republicans are clearly accusing POTUS Biden of something Trump was/is being sued for, today.

The example of Republicans accusing Democrats of doing EXACTLY what Republicans are doing can clearly be seen in the above posts.

I am not doing research for you since you won't listen.  google Biden and plagiarism.  google his past campaigns.  as far as dictatorship, look at his mandates.

as far as Pelosi and gang. after a few years back promoting the filer buster now they want to over turn it.   The fed voting is about giving them control. Pelose not allowing republicans to appoint  members to the Jan. 6th investigation is another example of her trying to be a dictator.

So, you make the wild claim... won't provide proof of said claim... then pivot to
dictatorship and mandates... and Trump governed by mandate. hahahahaha

Overturn the filibuster... seems like I remember Moscow Mitch using the same tactic to get Republicans onto the Supreme Court... were you outraged then?

As far as the Jan 6th committee... the members Republicans nominated are caught up in the investigation... now, I don't know about you, but I've never seen a person charged with a crime allowed to sit on the bench and act as a judge on their own case.....

You Republicans believe everything Conservative Media feeds you.
