And? Biden never said he was. You folks should learn English.
?? This is the quote from Biden:
"Even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden said.
He is directly comparing MLK to Floyd - MLK was killed, Floyd was killed
"Worldwide impact" has a positive connotation, it implies that MLK and Floyd were comparable figures
I do not buy for a second that he was simply making a comparison between the rioting now and the rioting after the MLK assassination - it isn't even relevant, MLK was assassinated pre-internet, pre-camera phone, and before riots like this could be so easily coorindinated across the globe
If you're seriously arguing that Biden was simply comparing immediate crowd reaction to the two events, it's a ridiculous point for Biden to make
"Impact" is a strong word. "Impact" lasts for years, decades, longer
