President Biden decided to take a trip first by delivering the commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. Later that day, he traveled to Detroit, Michigan, where he participated in a private campaign event and spoke at the 69th Annual NAACP Fight for Freedom Fund dinner at Huntington Place.
He was in full pander mode.
While the NAACP does not endorse political candidates, they invited President Biden to give the keynote address at their dinner. During his speech, President Biden expressed gratitude to the NAACP members, acknowledging their pivotal role in his election victory. He stated, “You’re the reason Kamala Harris is a historic vice president. You’re the reason Donald Trump was the defeated former president. And you’re the reason Donald Trump is going to be a loser again.”
He also forgot when he was Vice President.

In his speech, President Biden also addressed racial issues and criticized former President Donald Trump. He questioned, “What do you think he would have done on January 6 if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol? I’m serious. What do you think?” Biden emphasized the importance of Black history, stating, “They’re trying to erase Black history literally. They’re wrong. They don’t understand–Black history is American history. Not a joke. Together, we make history. We do not erase history.”
Then came a ridiculous gaffe.

Actually, we know what would happen because most of us are old enough to remember the Summer of 2020.
Fires in garbage bins. This is the scene outside the White House now. There have been a number of intense exchanges. Tear gas from police. Flares from protestors. Some protestors tell me the police threw them first, and they were throwing them back. pic.twitter.com/3jExBbfupt

Yeah, nothing happened.
H street becomes the new center as protestors drag a 15 foot wooden pole into the street, dump flammables on it. All manner of debris being thrown on top now. Worringly, just behind the growing inferno is St Johns, a church attended by presidents from Madison to Obama. pic.twitter.com/7WirhUBpIp
