I am never an emotional guy, but hell, Joe hit the nail right on the spot.
We need a healer, to bring us together before we rip ourselves apart in this country.

[christianv-h]

This was powerful. The man has so much empathy and goodwill. I'm almost in tears.

[homounsapiens]

this is the only nation on earth wherein rapists and convicted criminals achieve social redemption after death...if the color that matters is right of course.

[washiburr]

I have never been big on Biden's speeches, but damn. This made me pretty emotional.

[rangehot]

Wow, I am so proud of Joe Biden for being able to finally read a script and keep a mostly coherent thought.

[MarieProvost]

I like that the man who introduced him didn't say "former Vice President" but just "Vice President." It gave a lovely sense of calm & safety on June 9, 2020.

[stormiwithers]

Bless all if yall. I'm so sorry for your lost loved one.

It's such a relief to hear sincerity, empathy, and yes, eloquence, from a political leader. And to hear a leading politician represent my faith correctly and sincerely. I was not even aware Joe Biden has these qualities in abundance, but given his own personal tragedies it makes sense. He had me in tears. Here's to George Floyd succeeding in changing the world, racial justice, and to new leadership in the US.

I am totally against the misuse of one police officers authority which led to this man’s death. Not all police officers are a reflection of this one. Projecting his conduct on all officers is wrong and dangerous. Furthermore, Al Sharpton is not a Pastor. He is a disgrace to the Kingdom of God! Instead of taking to the pulpit (during the funeral service) and speaking about Jesus love and reconciliatory power, and unity He callously spoke words of anger, division and strife. He is a ‘Holy Punk’! I am all for Black lives but this is gone way to far....and trying to martyrize a man (George Floyd) with a rap sheet the size of tomorrow is giving credence to His criminality!!! Enough said!!!!

[wldennis]

I'm no Biden fan, but I agree with everything he said. I think those are the best remarks he has ever delivered.

[mattieashmore]

If we defund the police then who we gonna call when we need them.Just wait until all the pain stop.

[benv]

What happened to GF was terrible but this speech was a political chess move.

[eng.hassanahmed]

Ladies and gentleman the 46th president of U.S

[francodrummer]

That was an amazing message of empathy, a message that cries for peace...it yearns for healing, This is the leader that this country needs today...a man of strength, a man of humility and a man who can heal and unite...not divide! not pour gas on the flames of hate! God bless all who have unjustly passed and all who suffer!

[arcticmorning]

Biden has been in office 40 years and talks about what he will do, Trump 3 years and talks about what he has done

[marthamartha]

REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER GEORGE FLOYD.

[MrTimjd]

What a REAL President sounds like, Not a REALTY Star one.

[elisabethn]

Im sorry, but Does everyone who was a criminal and robbed a pregnant woman with a knife to her stomach, who was incarcerated 5 times have a such a following? I dont care if he was black white yellow red green is this deserving? I admit the way he died was horrible and those cops will pay and deserve what is coming to them. Lets not forget the truth though. He got more attention than Kobe.

[InThaMixTv]

Now that’s a damn leader... This who we need to be

[trspyable]

NOT joe 2020. Listen to him carefully. "Rest in peace george, vote for me" such a duche
