Not even the Onion could make that up. - Wharf Rat Thank you for bringing that up. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say the MSM is pure evil. Trump actually did not say that. The MSM took his words out of the direct context of his talking about racial inequality and replanted his words in the context of a previous portion of his speech which was focused on the economic recovery. it was a blatant lie what the MSM did and the liberals like you bought it hook, line, and sinker. How can we ever unite this country with an MSM so blatantly trying to divide us? The fact is that Trump and 99.999% of all Americans are united on the issue of George Floyd's murder. See the fact check below:factcheck.thedispatch.com “Equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement, regardless of race, color, gender, or creed. They have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement. They have to receive it. We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, “This is a great thing that’s happening for our country.” This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality. It’s really what our Constitution requires and it’s what our country is all about.” - President Trump There are reasonable arguments to be made that Trump’s comments were tone deaf. But given that he mentioned “George” immediately after talking about “equal justice under the law” and “fair treatment from law enforcement,” and then followed by calling it a “great day in terms of equality,” it’s clear that Trump was referring to equal justice under the law when he mentioned Floyd. He was not “imagining George Floyd’s reaction to the jobs numbers.”
