FLASHBACK: Biden Says Assassination of Martin Luther King Didn’t Have Same Impact as George Floyd

Biden made the comments in June of 2020 during an economic reopening roundtable in Philadelphia, weeks after Floyd's death. During the discussion, Biden was explaining how smartphones have mobilized people all over the world to participate in the movement against police brutality.

"Even Dr. King's assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd's death did," Biden said.
