MSNBCs Eddie Glaude Shades Biden After Widely-Lauded Speech: His Words Need to Rise to the Level of Our Problems
By Ken Meyer
MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude Jr. said Joe Biden did not go far enough in addressing Americas problems driven to the forefront after George Floyds fatal police arrest.
The ex-veep and gave a speech on the countrys social unrest Tuesday, and it drew early positive reviews among political observers because of how Biden contrasted himself from President Donald Trump by stressing the need for racial justice. When Glaude offered his reaction to the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential candidates remarks, he acknowledged Bidens expression of empathy, but then said he struggled with the question of whether or not the scale of [Bidens] response matches the scale of the problem.
I think its absolutely a good beginning to begin to talk about chokeholds, but I think he needs to be talking about qualified immunity. I think he needs to be talking about demilitarization and decriminalization. Thats a good beginning, Glaude said. But I think he needs to offer a set of remedies that actually rise to the level of the problems we face.

For the record I do not agree with Mr. Glaude and remember him constantly attacking Hillary Clinton in 16.

If he has some great ideas, he should think them through, write them out, present them to Biden

Glaude is a contrarian, sore loser Bernie supporter. He's on "Morning Joe" quite often...

I thank Glaude for his criticism and I'm glad a majority are happy with Joe's rhetoric.
