President Trump‘s attempt to embrace George Floyd is clearly BS when you see what he retweeted — a claim from Candace Owens that Floyd is a symbol of black America’s “broken culture.”
The President showed strong support for the conservative talking head’s disgusting beliefs with 2 retweets on Friday … promoting a theory she spewed about George on Glenn Beck‘s radio show. Owens said, “The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me.”
Their point is absolutely outrageous — that just because George Floyd had previous trouble with the law, protesters shouldn’t be chanting his name.
I don’t care WHAT George Floyd did. The officer should have never treated him like that and killed him! But we still must ask: Is he a HERO? BLEXIT founder @RealCandaceO gave her thoughts: “The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me.” pic.twitter.com/0Tm47x5Cc8

Beck and Owens quickly glossed over the fact accused murderer Derek Chauvin had pressed his kneed into Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes — and almost 3 of those after Floyd was dead — which is, of course, what millions of people around the world are actually protesting.
To say they’re completely missing the point is a gross understatement.

Even more appalling is the fact the President stood in the Rose Garden on Friday and claimed George Floyd would be looking down and smiling because this was a “great day” for him and for America.
Dog whistle much, Mr. President?
