After a jury wrongly found Derek Chauvin guilty on Tuesday of “murdering” drug addict George Floyd, the two top Democrats in the country canonized the career criminal and declared him to be in Heaven.
President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi all but said Floyd is a saint who, like Jesus Christ, died for the sin of racism. He looks down from above, having “sacrificed” himself for justice.
Thinking Americans who know the truth about Floyd have to wonder just when, and if, the Democrats will reach peak insanity.
Biden: Floyd “Looking Down”
Biden falsely said Floyd’s death from an overdose and serious cardiovascular disease was “a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism … that is a stain on our nation’s soul; the knee on the neck of justice for Black Americans; the profound fear and trauma, the pain, the exhaustion that Black and brown Americans experience every single day.”
[wpmfpdf id=”124763″ embed=”1″ target=””]That was bad enough. But Biden went on:
The guilty verdict does not bring back George. But through the family’s pain, they are finding purpose so George’s — George’s legacy will not be just about his death, but about what we must do in his memory.
I also spoke to Gianna … George’s young daughter, again. When I met her last year — I’ve said this before — at George’s funeral, I told her how brave I thought she was. And I, sort of, knelt down to hold her hand. I said, “Daddy’s looking down on you. He’s so proud.” She said to me then — I’ll never forget it — “Daddy changed the world.”
Well, I told her this afternoon, “Daddy did change the world.” Let that be his legacy: a legacy of peace, not violence — of justice.
Not surprisingly, Biden reprised Floyd’s repeated cries of “I can’t breathe” before died while Chauvin restrained him. That latest battle cry is akin to the false narrative the Left manufactured after a cop shot and killed hoodlum Michael Brown in self defense. Back then, it was “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot.”
Pelosi: Floyd Is Like Christ
But Pelosi’s remarks were just as bad.
Speaking to Floyd’s daughter, Pelosi said Floyd’s “name [is] synonymous with justice and dignity and grace and prayerfulness.”
“We thank God,” for the guilty verdicts, Pelosi continued. “We thank Jesus, because we were praying to him all along, right, darling?”
But like Biden, Pelosi had to go on:
Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice, for being there to call out to your mom. How heartbreaking was that call out for your mom, “I can’t breathe?” But because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice.
The Real George Floyd
Floyd’s real “legacy,” to borrow Biden’ term, is somewhat more complicated.
The day he died, Floyd tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill off on a store clerk. When Chauvin and other police arrived to arrest him, he resisted. He complained that he couldn’t breathe before Chauvin pinned him to the ground because he had, as he told the cops, overdosed on fentanyl, an opioid and respiratory depressant at least 50 times more powerful than heroin.
“I ate too many drugs,” Floyd appeared to say. Not surprisingly, investigators who searched the squad car in which Floyd was briefly detained found a pill that contained fentanyl, methamphetamine, and Floyd’s DNA. They found other pills in Floyd’s SUV.
The county coroner told a prosecutor that Floyd had taken a fatal dose of fentanyl, and Floyd’s autopsy showed “no life-threatening injuries.”
In other words, Floyd would be alive if he hadn’t overdosed and resisted police.
Floyd was a drug addict and a violent criminal. The judge blocked evidence of that criminal past, and full details of an overdose and an encounter with police in 2019 just like the one of May 25, 2020.
On May 6, 2019, Floyd landed in the hospital after he swallowed drugs as police were about to arrest him. In 2007, he robbed a woman by holding a gun to her abdomen, then watched an accomplice pistol whip the victim.
Commentator David Horowitz, a former leftist who, in the 1960s, promoted the totalitarian revolution the radical Left is promoting under the guise of “Black Lives Matter,” observed that no one really believes Chauvin “murdered” Floyd:
“If you believe, like President Biden, that Chauvin murdered Floyd, then you have to believe that an officer of the law, in possession of his faculties, would choose to murder an individual while dozens of cameras — many of them hostile — filmed the event,” he wrote. “No one in his or her right mind actually believes this.”
Justice wasn’t the issue in the Floyd case, Horowitz wrote:
For the Black Lives Matter and Antifa … [the] issue is always the revolution. The lynch mob doesn’t give a damn about George Floyd or black lives. They haven’t got the slightest interest in the justice or injustice of any case, this one included. Their attitude is: How can we use this case to advance our real agenda which is overthrowing the American political and economic system and instituting a totalitarian state?
