...or was it just Biden giving a sermon?

I don't recall Joy or anyone else breaking from their show to watch Kamala speak at a church, as she has several times, on one memorable anniversary, in particular, at one significant church.

I heard 10 minutes of the speech and it was impressive. I don't know about the rest of it, but I'll be pulling it up later to watch.

I don't watch or listen to Joy enough to know if she breaks for other candidates' speeches. I just pointed it out because some on DU are in a "Joy hates Joe" campaign this weekend.

...by this obvious diversion from his controversial remarks.

about.. all you're doing is kicking the thread so people can see what a poignant, amazing speech Biden gave to honor the little girls.

.....he makes me feel safe

...imposing himself, for better or worse, on this memorably tragic observance.

I'm more than cynical, in the immediate wake of controversy over his remarks in the debate in response to a question of accounting for the legacy of slavery. It's especially glaring because he hasn't personally offered any explanation for his remarks or responded to critics before making this appearance.

I don't need Biden or anyone else to remind me of the importance of the tragedy in our nation's history. Did he address his own controversial remarks at all today?

....about a solemn speech in a historic church at a historic moment is...........well I'll just say disappointing.

Too bad you had to try, unsuccessfully, to spoil the event.

event, an American tragedy as a platform of any kind.

It was a seminal event in the civil rights movement.

I’m sure it was planned weeks out—not as some “diversion” from some non-issue that you’re trying to make a big deal of.

Not a big picture type, are you?

then and now. Those words are important.

posted.. and appreciated it, too.

Thank you so much for posting this, mcar!

that!

Call them what they are! I thought his remarks were fitting tribute to the lives that were lost as well as a call for all of us to continue the fight for civil rights because the battle is far from over.

keep reminding us and not let any of it go down the rabbit hole.

Mahalo, brer

....this morning was neither.

I think you should delete this post.

the pushback the post is getting.

candidate.

Both of these attacks were very sad and inappropriate. These two persons were actually pissed off that Joe Biden gave a good speech. I am not happy with AMJOY

as a way to begin to heal.

And he made it clear he supports Booker.

AMJOY cut into the speech after the first couple of minutes

It was an amazing speech.

I lean towards a different candidate. But I can't deny that he did very well and had his audience with him today. They responded to him and he was strengthened by that.

The line that struck me was about how doing the right thing doesn't tarnish with time.

Biden can deal with criticisms and political attacks. he was even joking about it.

those who continue to "defend" him by attacking joy are just dragging him down with their dwelling on and picking on something they don't like.

....claiming that he didn't address something that should NOT have been addressed in this speech, nor should it have come up in a discussion about that speech.

It's was excellent - it was NOT a political campaign speech.

What I heard was heartfelt.

and made David Sirota shake in his boots. He immediately unleashed the cornpop story as one can see on DU - multiple supporters of a certain candidate are starting multiple threads and they are posting on each other's threads to keep them kicked high.

A very transparent attempt at a dirty trick.

remembrance of precious lives cut short and the need to continue fighting for black lives. Of all days, this is one on which our party should be united in message and leave politicking behind.

Quite the opposite or he wouldn't have hired Sirota, Turner and Grey in the first place knowing that they all voted for Jill Stein.

It was Joe Biden at his best speaking from the heart.

Another good one on him!

real arrogant asshole these past two years. What is his problem !!!!

I heard him say he’s not a democrat a few months ago, I have no idea what he is or what his game is.
