Thread: Obama links Uvalde massacre to George Floyd

-Former President Barack Obama was hammered for what critics say was a tone-deaf post linking the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, to the second anniversary of George Floyd's murder.

The former president shared the message on Twitter Wednesday in the wake of the massacre at Robb Elementary School that killed 19 children and two fourth-grade teachers.

"As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer." Obama tweeted. "His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him."

...Seth Dillon, the CEO of the right-wing news publication The Babylon Bee, tweeted sarcastically: "'It sucks those kids died, but remember George Floyd? He's who I'm still thinking about.' — Barack Obama."

Emanuel Rincon, editor-at-large at the conservative Latino publication El American, wrote: "The families of more than 20 people (mostly children) killed yesterday do not deserve this disrespect."

Barrington Martin II, a former congressional candidate from Georgia, bristled at Obama seemingly conflating the school shooting with Floyd's murder.

"Those babies were truly innocent, he wasn't. Let's not put them in the same sentence of a man who's [sic] untimely death was used to unleash a summer's worth of chaos in the name of faux social justice," he tweeted, referring to the months of protests that broke out after Floyd's death....

Good grief.

This is the true Obama...he ain't bright without the teleprompter

Unbelievable!
