I'm glad George Floyd's family and friends saw and heard a real president (for once) speak on behalf of this country and ease their grief.

“Faith without works is dead.”
@JoeBiden cites James 2:17 at #GeorgeFloyd’s funeral.

What’s striking here is not just what we already know: That Biden knows how to bring comfort & empathy to the grieving. It’s also that linking faith & social action really is part of who he is.

Thank you @JoeBiden for showing the world what true empathy - born from so much personal loss - & leadership looks like in such terrible, divisive, fearful times. #GeorgeFloyd
