Biden, who appeared to confuse D-Day with Pearl Harbor Day last year on the campaign trail, tweeted: “I met with survivors of the Tulsa Massacre this week to help fill the silence. Because in silence, wounds deepen. And, as painful as it is, only in remembrance do wounds heal.”
He shared a video produced by the White House in which he emphasized the need to tell the truth about America’s past sins: “You can’t pretend it didn’t happen. … It can happen again,” he said.
None of Biden’s Twitter accounts — @JoeBiden, @POTUS, @WhiteHouse — had commemorated D-Day by 6:30 p.m Eastern time. A search of the White House website also showed no statements.

ReplyDeleteMy race riot history is a bit spotty. But, didn't the Tulsa massacre occur June 1, 1921? And of the 35 or so killed weren't 28 of them white? How many survivors of the riot are still alive today? Is Biden that stupid?
ReplyDeleteWhy yes he is, and they trotted out some female "survivors", they didn't look +100 years old to me!
