Biden plans to meet with family of drug-addled man who resisted arrest and died of overdose of fentanyl

The President of the United States plans to meet with the family of George Floyd on the anniversary of his death. Biden may also plan more meetings with the family on Floyd's birthday, his first release from prison, his second release and so on, and the anniversary of the day he stuck a gun in a woman's stomach in front of her son while his cohorts robbed her. 

So far, those dates have not been discussed with the White House communist party planner, but the family is hopeful and stand to make a few bucks on Tik Tok if it pans out.

Floyd likely died of massive drug overdose of fentanyl after he tried to pass a counterfeit twenty dollar bill. The police were called and attempted to arrest him for about the ninth time in his miserable life, and he died while being properly restrained, according to Minneapolis Police Department protocol, as former officer Derek Chauvin held him down with a knee to the side of his neck.

The legacy media made Floyd into a saint, much like they did with Dr. Anthony Fauci, while the Democrats used the Floyd death to push their politics and help divide the country even more than they already have. But hey, anything for votes and don't let a crisis go to waste.

When the death occurred last May 25, it provided an opportunity for Black Lives Matter and Antifa to riot and steal from Black-owned businesses.

White House press ginger Jen Psaki said Friday that Biden would mark the day but didn’t provide specifics because she never does.

Biden previously set Floyd's death anniversary as the deadline for passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a police reform bill that basically ties the hands of police and treats criminals like monks. The bill stalled in the Senate but passed in the House in March.

The bill would ban chokeholds, end qualified immunity for law enforcement against civil lawsuits and create national standards for policing. Republicans oppose ending qualified immunity because cops could be sued for simply doing their job.

Psaki on Friday admitted the bill was "unlikely" to pass by Biden’s deadline but insisted progress continues to be made on it.

Floyd’s family also plans cash in on Floyd's death and will host events with Democrat politicians and race hustlers [same old, same old] in Minneapolis on Tuesday. 

Chauvin was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter last month for kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes during an arrest on May 25, 2020. The court would have added a jaywalking charge if video was available to show him crossing the street illegally.

Three other former police officers await trial in connection with the case. With the crazed mob looking for blood, and the Democratic Party afraid to not appease them, it's likely the officers will be screwed, blued and tattooed. 

“In looking at the absence of diversity across the City Hall press corps and other newsrooms, sadly it does not appear that many of the media institutions in Chicago have caught on and truly have not embraced this moment,” Lightfoot wrote. “I have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically.”

“If I as the black woman mayor, the first-ever, don’t challenge us, the collective us, to do better, to really make sure that in every institution it reflects the diversity, nuance, and texture, then shame on me,” Lightfoot continued.

“This isn’t my job. It shouldn’t be,” she wrote. “I don’t have time for it. But as with so many festering problems, it has only gotten worse with time. So here I am, like so many other Black women before me, having to call your attention to this problem.”

Lightfoot went further, taking to Twitter early Thursday morning to defend her policy in a series of posts.

“I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot tweeted. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI, or Native American.”

“Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change,” she continued. “This is exactly why I’m being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.”

Critics blasted Lightfoot’s decision from all sides Wednesday. Beyond the journalists who noted that they were shut out by the policy limiting interviews, Lightfoot faced criticism from a Latino news organization, which refused to interview the mayor after she refused to lift the moratorium on white journalists, per Fox News.

She also faced blowback on Twitter, where racial justice advocates suggested that Lightfoot was likely using the policy to distract from her inability to handle questions of violence. “Lori Lightfoot presided over an enormous increase in homicides, almost all of them in African American or Latino communities, and she’s hoping these PR stunts get liberal America to give her a pass for failing to save people’s lives,” journalist Zaid Jilani pointed out.

Indeed, on the same day that the mayor’s office announced the policy favoring “black and brown” reporters, Lightfoot aides announced that “a compromise plan to make past police disciplinary records available to the public,” essentially turning down a request from Chicago’s racial justice activists to expand police transparency.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Determines Who Interviews Her Based On Race, Local Reporters Claim

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”
