The media and others continue their politicization of this week’s violent shooting deaths of 19 children and two teachers. In a time of grief, we rely on leaders to promote unity and compassion, yet we find many instead capitalizing on the grief and shock of the nation to push through radical legislation, devoid of reason and analysis. One well known public figure, in particular, drew fire for his tasteless take on the Uvalde, Texas shooting.
Former President Obama tweeted the following on Wednesday: “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. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.” He next responded to his own post with a plug for the activist organization he created to address systemic racism and inspire police reform.
Fellow Twitter users and various figures of note were quick to respond. Some came to defend the President, reminding users that Wednesday was the two-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Still, others, pointed out the incredible insensitivity of tying together two unrelated events and capitalizing on tragedy.
Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire: “What in the world does the former have to the do with the latter?”
Seth Dillon, the CEO of satire news site, Babylon Bee: “It sucks those kids died, but remember George Floyd? He’s who I’m still thinking about.”
Cory Mills, Congressional candidate for Florida: “Instead of condolences or taking a moment to reflect on the tragic loss of 19 children (ages 7–10) and 2 teachers; @BarackObama does what he does best, race baiting and vilifying police through his generalization of our officers. Further rhetoric from the divider-in-chief.”
Jason Whitlock, Blaze media host tweeted, “Let’s stand George Floyd on the dead bodies of slaughtered children. This is one of the worst tweets in history.”
Other Twitter users called Obama out for stoking “flames of division” and for being “politically opportunistic.” Some questioned why he couldn’t create two separate posts to convey his sentiments rather than seek to draw a correlation between 19 slain schoolchildren and the wrongful death of a “women-beating drug-addict.”
Unity as a response to tragedy is a thing of the past. Division is the new norm.

That is thoroughly disgusting. Shame on you. You have not a modicum, not a picogram of class or civility. You are a colassal gluteus maximus and DB.
HOW CAN THIS IDIOT COMPARE THESE INNOCENT CHILDREN WITH THIS PETTY CRIMINAL FLOYD???OBAMA YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A RACE BATER SHUT YOUR TRAP, NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN YOUR COMMUNIST CRAP.YOU AND MICHELLE ARE NOTHING BUT TRAITORS TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY.WE DID NOT HEAR A WORD FROM YOU WHEN BLM DESTROYED OUR STATUES ETC. SHAME ON YOU.
Yes indeed. 100% correct. Plus he is a colossal POS.
PLEASE, Please, please say Obama would not do something “tasteless”. You can’t. Like if you like you insurance company, you can keep it. Like if you like your doctor, you can keep it. Or just recently (in the past several days) he also had cue cards from his staff telling him what to do and when. And of course referencing/equating a confirmed criminal (a black man, who would have thought) who passed counterfeit money with 19 innocent children were murdered in cold blood. What a genius he is. NOT.
Obuma like ALL politicians ALWAYS find a way to politicize the tragedies of people dying. He found a way to blame ALL police as racist and will also blame ALL white people for the deaths of black young men and women. In this case in Ulvade, the police are to blame for setting up the system with the school to kill those children. This is a device Barack Obuma is now using.
HOW CAN THIS MORON COMPARE THE LIVES OF THESE CHILDREN AND TEACHERS TO THE USELESS LIVE OF THIS PETTY CRIMINAL??? IT IS OUTRAGES WHAT HE DID. OBAMA DIVIDED THIS NATION, HE IS FULL OF HATE AGAINST WHITES, SO IS MICHELLE, LET US KEEP THEM FAR AWAY FROM NORMAL AMERICAN LOVING CITIZENS. HE DOES NOT REALIZE THAT HE IS FINISHED. EVERYONE IS SICK OF BOTH OF THEM, THEY ARE A EMARRASSMENT TO OUR COUNTRY.
