Joe Biden gave a speech at a "political event" at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday. That's how they labeled it on the White House transcript, and you would think they maybe would have more sense, given that's where people were shot to death. But it's the Biden White House where very little makes sense.

We reported on his speech, which was just a rambling mess, and he pulled out all the stops to pander to the black crowd. Some of the problems in his remarks included Biden claiming he "started a civil rights movement" at the Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware, where he said he spent more time than most people "black or white."
BIDEN: "I've spent more time in the Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware, than most people I know, black or white, have spent in that church because that's where I started a civil rights movement..."

He also called the 2020 BLM movement which had hundreds of riots, with millions of dollars in damage and more than 20 people killed, including black people, a "historic movement for justice."
But that wasn't all. In a place where there was such a horrible tragedy of people being shot, Biden said that he visited with his "surviving son" and spoke at length about his dead son Beau, who had not been shot in a church but had died of cancer. It's always about him whether it's a shooting or a fire in Maui.
Two days after the service of Reverend — Reverend Pinckney, my son and I — my surviving son and I came back. My family worshiped with you here Sunday service to show our solidarity. But my family also needed to be healed. We didn’t even realize how badly.
Just 22 days before, we had buried my son, Beau, a veteran who was exposed and died because of those burn pits in Iraq for a year. We were — we — we were in more pain than we knew. We came here to offer comfort and received comfort from you. No, I’m serious.[....]
And now it reminds me that, through our pain, each of us — each of us must find purpose.
For me, that purpose was to live a life worthy of my son Beau. And I mean it sincerely. For you, that purpose is for the lives worthy of loved ones lost — to make them proud.
Then the capper might have been him quoting a "gospel song" to pander to the audience. Of all the things Biden could have chosen, he chose the gospel song that was involved in perhaps one of Hillary Clinton's most embarrassing moments. Remember, "I don't feel in no ways tired," with Hillary putting on a fake black accent? Here's Joe hilariously mouthing the same words.

Now, that's truly funny. At least Biden didn't put on a fake accent. But again, it's pandering, trying to throw things out there like, "Look, I can relate." What do they do — recycle what they think will appeal to black people?
Looks like he's been pandering a lot.
That's at least the fourth time Biden has included those lyrics in a speech just in the past year. pic.twitter.com/OyvzSXK95n

The funny thing is that Joe's echoing one of Hillary's worst, most embarrassing speeches ever, with very similar cadence and delivery as well.
Yup… that’s how Democrat politicians roll while in a black church. https://t.co/ui6elByHb3
