Joe Biden degraded the memory of civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr., back in June 2020, claiming Dr. King’s death was not as impactful globally as that of venerated drug user George Floyd.
“But even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden remarked during a roundtable in Philadelphia.

Despite being made more than two years ago, Biden’s comments are still being scrutinized for illustrating the depths to which the progressive left sank in 2020 when they bent over backwards to mischaracterize Floyd as a civil rights martyr.
