Joe Biden absurdly claimed that making Juneteenth a federal holiday was his proudest day as president – but he got the day confused with the Tulsa Massacre.
In 2021, Joe Biden, a lifelong racist, signed a law making Juneteenth a federal holiday.
No one knew what Juneteenth was until recently.
Barack Obama never tweeted about Juneteenth and he never gave a speech about the event.
On Friday, Biden said making Juneteenth a federal holiday was his proudest day as President:
One of my proudest days as President was signing the law that made Juneteenth a federal Holiday. The first federal holiday in America since MLK Jr. Day.
It was no symbolic gesture. It is a day that celebrates the end of slavery in this country. America’s original sin.
Now just five years later, this day stands as not only a commemoration of the past, but a call to action in our time. There is an effort underway to deny, minimize and erase America’s past. To remove references to slavery from textbooks and classrooms, from museums and national monuments.
America — we must recognize and honor this day. Great nations face their past. They don’t try to ignore it or rewrite it or bury it. And America is a great nation.
Juneteenth is about the end of slavery. It’s also about the unending work of rooting out racism and creating a more perfect union. It’s about living up to the sacred American creed: We are all created equal. There is nothing more American than that.
In 2020, just one year before making it a federal holiday, Joe Biden had no clue what Juneteenth was and he actually confused it with the Tulsa Massacre.
WATCH:
Joe Biden doesn’t know what Juneteenth is:
“He’s going down to Texas on Juneteenth, right? The first major massacre … of the Black Wall Street, right?”
1. President Trump is going to Texas today, not June 19
2. Juneteenth is about emancipation
3. The massacre was in Oklahoma pic.twitter.com/vpNDQLwqBj— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) June 11, 2020
